Am I missing something in the pricing or is the Storage costs very unappealing. For anything with a usage skewed towards high ratio of storage to usage, the costs aren't competitive. 2.5$ per GB in "Scalar" and 1.5$ per GB in "Scalar PRO" compared to 0.11$ RDS for General purpose (or 0.125$ for provisioned + the IOPS you use, double that for multi-az), Supabase at 0.125$, Firebase at 0.1725$,DynamoDB at 0.25$, MongoD…

Yes, there's no comparison on the IOPs or anything else and what counts as storage. They all count slightly differently and so unless you account for it all it's a bit moot.

AWS alone has different tiers of storage from HDD to NVME ssd. The pricing varies greatly.

RDS will literally count anything including temporary files as usage of storage. Planetscale claims not to.

Excited to see this finally rolled out. Now just waiting on the foreign key constraint support.

It's on its way!

This is great news. I strolled around https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/12967.

Are there any public discussions of more trade-offs vitess has to make to enable fks?
