If you are on AWS anyway, I am curious why not just use Aurora Postgres?

#52If anyone has questions about our Postgres product please feel free to ask. I will be around to answer.
Since NVMe nodes are ephemeral on GCP, would you suggest SaaS with critical customer data to use Metal or persistent disks?

#53Did they rename to GA, did a company named GA buy them, or are they general availability, i.e. 1.0 out, or "not closed beta" ?
Ah, overlooked first sentence, read only all headings and navigation and footer:

#54I don't know why but I can almost never understand American commercial software websites. "what is PlanetScale".....blah, blah blah....WHOOOOSH! No more enlightened than before. Even for products I've worked on - I read the page and can't recognise the thing I'm working on from the description..... Postgres is involved somehow. I get that.
The homepage splash of this company is literally a few paragraphs that explain exactly what the company does. The problem might be you.

#55Not a single explanation of what ‘PlanetScale’ is, does (or how) on that landing page. A product, a service, a new offering or scaling paradigm, a cloud? Etc
Sure you can click around to determine but this always annoys me. Like everyone should know what your product is and does and all you service names. Put it front and center at the top!

I haven't used PlanetScale before, but AWS Aurora limits IOPS and network performance based on your instance size, so you end up in scenarios where you really wish you had more throughput, but sizing up your instance would be a very, very expensive solution

I mean add a 1-2 sentence description of the HOW to this paragraph. Cause like great, but how. This is just marketing fluff and a user has to navigate the site to then understand what PlanetScale itself does (and how), if not familiar;
What is PlanetScale for Postgres?

#60We just migrated to PlanetScale Postgres Metal over the weekend. We are already seeing major query improvements. The migration was pretty smooth. Post-migration we hit a few issues (turned out it wasn't an issue with PlanetScale), and the PlanetScale team jumped in immediately to help us out, even on a Saturday morning so support's been amazing. The Insights tab also surfaced missing indexes we added, which sped thin…
