OpenReplay Team published the article on May 19, 2026 detailing PlanetScale as a managed MySQL-compatible platform built on Vitess. PlanetScale adds horizontal scaling, connection pooling, non-blocking migrations, and Git-like database branching compared to stock MySQL. The platform supports foreign keys on unsharded databases and suits production workloads needing safe schema changes. Foreign keys receive no cross-shard enforcement on sharded setups.
