PlanetScale has developed a next-generation database system based on the Vitess open-source database technology for deploying and managing large clusters of database instances.
In March the company debuted PlanetScaleDB Cloud, a fully managed, multi-cloud, multi-region database-as-a-service running on AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure. The startup also provides PlanetScaleDB Enterprise for customers that want to run their own database-as-a-service. In June the company launched PlanetScaleDB for Kubernetes, which deploys databases directly into a Kubernetes cluster.
Founded in 2018, the company has raised $25 million in funding, including $22 million in May 2019.
