I want to like this so bad, but the free tier changes still haunt me. I ran a little hobby project for a while on it that helped junior developers find jobs. The work needed to switch from PlanetScale ultimately meant I just canned the project.

Fairly or not, when I see PlanetScale, that’s what I think of.

Seeing the CEO on here defending it as if they nailed the execution of it doesn’t help either.

Why are you pretending like Planetscale is the only database provider? There are a large number of db/web providers (even free ones like GCP, Neon, Supabase etc) between using Planetscale and hosting your own server.
