PlanetScale Metal is the go-to option for the most demanding, critical workloads. For databases where microseconds matter. I/O-optimized by default – it can handle anything you throw at it. And with Vitess under the hood, you’ll never have to worry about outgrowing it.

Databases are backed up daily at minimum, with the option to add more frequent backups as needed. Backups are also validated and tested at the time of backup to make sure they work when you need them.

Durability through replication, backup, and restore is powerful. PlanetScale Metal databases utilize semi-synchronous, row-based, MySQL replication from a primary to two or more replicas distributed across three availability zones.

NVMe changes everything. I/O latency is lower now because SSDs don’t need to seek and because the interconnects have gotten faster. Throughput is higher because the interconnects have higher bandwidth.

Writes to network-attached volumes pass through a NIC, network gear, and another machine before landing on a hard drive. No amount of engineering from the cloud providers can mask the physical reality that network-attached storage is far away.

Why Metal? Network-attached storage isn’t ideal for databases. Separating storage and compute creates inherent problems, most notably high and widely variable latency as well as lower throughput and higher costs.

microsoft developing a faster second implementation of typescript is a big deal. it being in go is a little wacky. my dream is for another company or person to develop an implementation of typescript.

honestly makes me so happy 🥹❤️

we're trending again! thank you for all the love ❤️

Having a blast discussing the GitButler redesign! 🚀🎨 Lots of exciting ideas taking shape. #DesignTalks #GitButler

a few days ago, we lost an hour to daylight savings time. where did that hour go?
