Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
PlanetScale is introducing a new $5 per month entry-level plan featuring a single node, non-highly available configuration. This new tier aims to make PlanetScale's database platform more accessible to developers and builders who want the company's quality and features like Insights without the cost overhead of the existing $30/month 3-node highly available cluster. The announcement explains that while the $30 plan offers incredible value, not everyone needs high availability from day one, and the company has been receiving daily requests for a more accessible entry point.
