Aaaaand just shaved off likely 7M DB calls using @PlanetScale Insights (via the MCP). I've never enjoyed Postgres as much as I enjoy it right now. Thank you @0x15f for the idea.

Postgres doesn’t provide a good way to measure egress bytes used over time.

PlanetScale Insights does.

@simeonGriggs shows how in our latest video.

We're in NYC for tech week.

Come hang with us on Monday at Ted's Corner Tavern.

No panels. No agenda. Just drinks, good conversation, and swag. Register below.

Always bet on JavaScript.

[nicklas @xn1cklas]

if the @QuiverAI app feels noticeable faster - we've used the @PlanetScale MCP to audit our most expensive queries.

the Planetscale insights feature paired with their MCP is unlocked incredible numbers with just a few prompts.

[Chris Power @typecraft_dev]

I'm so excited to announce that I've joined @PlanetScale as a content creator / educator! This is going to be huge. Lots of great stuff coming up.

Stay tuned...

Agents need safe ways to try, fail, fork, and iterate.

On June 9, we’re co-hosting Fork it, Branch it, Bop it with @PlanetScale in SF — a demo night on forkable infra for agent builders.

Featuring demos from @archildata, @agentuity, @daytonaio, and @mesa_dot_dev.

At scale, you can only put off sharding for so long. YouTube scaled MySQL with Vitess, and now we're building the same for Postgres.

[simeonGriggs @simeonGriggs]

PlanetScale Postgres starts at $5/month, but feel free to shove as many apps as you like into a single database cluster.

[Irina Nazarova @inazarova]

Coincidentally (or not!), the beautiful office of PlanetScale is the venue for the next SF Ruby meetup on June 18, with @jeremyevans0 speaking! https://t.co/AzGOj2zcb8

@jessethanley @nateberkopec @dragonflydbio AWS is absolutely ridiculous for managed services... When we moved from RDS to PlanetScale last summer we halved our bill. I did the math recently and for what we pay PlanetScale 5-7k would be 9-14 on RDS varying by setup

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

We're hiring for Postgres.

Come join a group of exceptional pg engineers that love databases, kubernetes, and writing Go (or even... Rust and Zig!)

One of my favorite things about PlanetScale is the engineering culture. It's truly something special.

"Performance, reliability, and scaling all bottlenecked on the same root cause: we were running a fast inference engine on a slow disk." But once Magicare migrated to PlanetScale, they achieved an 85%+ reduction in query latency, 17× faster materialized view refreshes, and a 6× smaller database footprint per instance. Read their article for all the details.

If you’re not careful, ingress (free) can become egress (not free). Double-check your agents work, they could quietly be costing you money.

[Victoria Liao @ivictorialiao]

Come with me to Notion's first hackathon 🤩

Grateful for @planetscale being a leading sponsor and supporting the next generation of engineers and builders!

Congratulations to @_Brian_Zhang!! ⚡️

s/o to @accomazzo, @PedersenCarter, and the Notion ganggg 🤏🤏🤍

What if your database could fix itself?

@hiradp will show you how.

Join us in San Francisco on June 3rd for a presentation on self-improving Postgres databases. Register below.

[MotherDuck @motherduck]

Can your Postgres tune itself?

Hirad Pourtahmasbi from PlanetScale is joining us at The Dive in SF to show how AI agents, MCP, and database metrics can be wired together to automatically optimize Postgres performance.

It's part of our Postgres Community Talks & Happy Hour with PlanetScale on June 3. Talks, snacks, libations, and the people building the next generation of Postgres tooling.

The @PlanetScale MCP is really wonderful. It makes finding and fixing slow queries so easy

[PlanetScale @PlanetScale]

Egress costs are an annoying reality of AWS and GCP.

But there are ways to minimize the pain while also getting more out of your database.

New post on how to send less data, save money, and make your apps faster:
