PlanetScale,
creators of a database-as-a-service built on Kubernetes and Vitess, today
announced PlanetScaleDB is now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace. PlanetScale's flagship product provides customers with a
battle-tested transactional database that delivers the scalability,
manageability and reliability enterprises need for current and emerging mission-critical
applications.
Gartner predicts that 75 percent of
all databases will be deployed or migrated to a cloud platform by 2022. As
businesses look to address the challenges of scaling data, there's an
ever-growing migration toward the ease and speed of Kubernetes, the open-source
platform for managing containerized workloads and services.
PlanetScaleDB, a fully managed DBaaS, is MySQL compatible and
built on both Kubernetes and Vitess, an open source project used by GitHub, HubSpot, Slack and
Square to serve millions of queries per second. PlanetScale's founders
co-created Vitess, the database sharding solution that originally powered
YouTube during its hyper-growth to billions of users. With PlanetScaleDB,
enterprises can leverage Vitess to scale their databases and handle the most
demanding applications.
Customers of Google Cloud Marketplace can use the Google Cloud
control panel to purchase PlanetScaleDB, streamlining the billing and vendor
process and potentially lowering costs. To purchase PlanetScaleDB on the Google

"PlanetScaleDB is a true cloud native transactional database that

landscape," said Jiten Vaidya, CEO and co-founder of PlanetScale. "Because our
DBaaS is built on Kubernetes and Vitess, PlanetScaleDB offers unbounded scale
designed for modern applications and enables disaster recovery for maximum
uptime and business continuity."
"PlanetScaleDB is an
easy-to-use database built on Kubernetes, and we're delighted that their
solution is now available on Google Cloud Marketplace," said Nina Harding,
Global Chief, Partner Programs & Strategy, Google. "With just a few clicks,
companies can deploy PlanetScaleDB on Google Cloud, helping customers looking
for additional scale and flexibility to meet their needs now, and in the
long-term."
