> PlanetScale is a relational database platform that brings you scale, performance, and reliability — without sacrificing developer experience.

All clusters are deployed with one primary and a minimum of 2 replicas across 3 availability zones for high availability. Automated failovers, managed version upgrades, and a team of database experts holding the pager means you can spend your time shipping instead of worrying about your database.

For large-scale applications that are hitting the limits of vertical scale, PlanetScale's [Vitess](https://planetscale.com/vitess) is a great option. You get the power of horizontal sharding, built-in connection pooling, and non-blocking schema changes so you'll never have to worry about outgrowing your database solution.
