In a large database, the cost of IOPS and throughput can add up quickly. Sharding can help mitigate these rising costs by spreading out your workload across many servers. https://lnkd.in/diA9HhQb

The engineers at Superwall were early adopters of PlanetScale. They have been building and scaling on our platform from the get-go. We got to sit down with one of the co-founders to talk about why they chose PlanetScale.

Sharding brings several benefits. Perhaps an unexpected one - much faster backups and restores. An unsharded 161 GB database took about 30 minutes to back up on PlanetScale. A 20 TB sharded database took 90 minutes. Learn how it works in our latest post. https://lnkd.in/gMuWPKXz

Sharding a fast-growing database can greatly improve performance, speed up operational and maintenance tasks, and even bring you cost savings in many cases. So, what's the downside? Sharding can also add complexity to your application layer, often turning it into an implementation and maintenance nightmare. The good news is that Vitess solves this problem. Vitess gives you the best of both worlds - the scaling benefits of sharding, without requiring huge changes to your application code. PlanetScale makes it even easier with our Managed Vitess offering. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gZWuU-dm.

PlanetScale chose WorkOS because they needed an all-in-one solution for both SSO and SCIM provisioning. They knew that maintaining SSO alone could require "teams of up to seven engineers." With WorkOS, they were able to seamlessly integrate with an existing auth layer and support enterprise features in days instead of months. https://lnkd.in/ey5rAfnf
