PlanetScale Rolls Out Multi-Cloud Database Service

Once used on YouTube to manage the stability of the giant network, PlanetScale has announced that they are now making available of their multi-cloud version to the public via Kubernetes.

With the enormous amount of traffic that the internet has been receiving as of late due to the Coronavirus pandemic which forced some employees to remotely work at home, the service will help serve companies as a cloud storage database for their files.

Not only users would enjoy the luxury of the cloud storage but the speed of the service will also play a big role in the process.

“This makes writing applications rather complicated and every new application you write pays the price of this complexity”, said Jiten Vaidya, CEO and co-founder of PlanetScale who was also a former engineer of YouTube.

PlanetScaleDB’s version which was publicly made available recently, is a cloud native database built around Vitess and it means that Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services are compatible with this new service.

Additionally, the company has an estimated $25 million worth in venture capital.
