Comment on PlanetScale Scaler Proparent

Comments

I'm interested in using PlanetScale.

Would you happen to know the magnitude of how many simultaneous connections could $348/yr buy me in PlanetScale?

One of my clients hovers around 50 simultaneous connections to their main MySQL server on a normal day, but they have bursts of 3k simultaneous connections for an entire day, twice per year.

Their workload is about 5% writting (INSERTs, UPDATEs), 95% reading (SELECTS).

Planetscale advertises up to 10,000 concurrent connections on their $29/mo Scalar plan (https://planetscale.com/pricing - click on "Compare all plan options and benefits"). Being based on Vitess as well, I believe that number.

The blog post shows both the Scaler and Scaler Pro plan supporting up to 10,000 concurrent connections: https://planetscale.com/blog/announcing-scaler-pro#scaler-pr...

This number of connections on any of the paid plans should be no issue.
