Postgres (esoterically?) has some issues with index bloat on high-insert workloads, does PlanetScale do anything special to tune for this by default, since it caters to higher-perf workloads (over something like supabase)?

> To create a Postgres database, sign up or log in to your PlanetScale account, create a new database, and select Postgres.
It does mention the sign up option but doesn't really give me much context about pricing or what it is. I know a bit, but I get confused by different database offerings, so it seems like a missed opportunity to give me two more sentences of context and some basic pricing - what's the easiest way for me to try this if I'm curious?
On the pricing page I can start selecting regions and moving slides to create a plan from $39/month and up, but I couldn't easily find an answer to if there's a free trial or cheaper way to 'give it a spin' without committing.

On another, similar, vein - i'd be curious to know if XID wraparound and auto vacuum tuning was something you had to advise customers on up front consdering how often that issue rears its head for the same kinds of workloads.

PlanetScale isnt' really designed for the "ill give it a go" casual customer that might use supabase
It's designed for businesses that need to haul ass

We don't do anything special (yet) but we do have bloat detection that we warn you about. We've noticed that autovacuum works very well on our Metal product because of the extra resources.
