PlanetScale’s news and media highlights

Almost 28 years after its launch, MySQL may not have much hype surrounding it anymore, but it remains among the most often-used databases and it powers the vast majority of the web. Today, PlanetScale, the well-funded MySQL database company founded by the co-creators of the Vitess open source project, announced that it is forking MySQL in order to add vector support — in part because the team believes that MySQL-owner Oracle isn’t moving fast enough to do the same.
Today PlanetScale announced a new collection of features to improve performance for many more complex forms of analysis while simplifying life for developers who must provide it.
Distributed transaction database biz PlanetScale has introduced an "undo" button it says can reverse schema changes, allowing devs to avoid embarrassing disasters by reverting to the original design without losing data within a 30-minute window.
