A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
PlanetScale has launched a new entry-level pricing tier for its PlanetScale Metal for Postgres database service, starting at $50 per month. The company has introduced smaller instance sizes with as little as 1GiB of RAM (down from 16GiB) and expanded storage options from 10GB to 1.2TB.

· 3 pulledToday we're making PlanetScale Metal for Postgres available in smaller sizes and at much lower price points, all the way down to the new M-10 for as little as $50 per month.
We've lowered the floor from 16GiB of RAM with four sizes all the way to 1GiB and paired these with eight storage capacities ranging from 10GB to 1.2TB.
These new sizes are powered by the same blazingly fast, locally attached NVMe drives that customers like Cash App, Cursor, and Intercom use to decrease latency, increase reliability, and decrease costs, too.
