PlanetScale removed its free tier in April 2024 and raised prices across the board, pushing many teams to re-evaluate their MySQL hosting. Beyond pricing, PlanetScale runs on Vitess, a sharding proxy that sits between your application and MySQL. While Vitess handles horizontal scaling well, it introduces compatibility quirks that can surprise you: no foreign key enforcement, limited support for certain joins, and behavior differences from native MySQL. If you want a standard MySQL experience with native replication, foreign keys, and no proxy layer, FoundryDB is a direct path forward.
