What this trail covers

PlanetScale offers multiple deployment options for its managed database service, catering to different customer needs regarding tenancy, compliance, and network integration. Initially launched with a shared tenancy model, PlanetScale now offers a single-tenancy 'PlanetScale Managed' option for organizations with strict regulatory and compliance requirements. This managed service can be deployed within the customer's own AWS or GCP accounts, providing enhanced isolation and control. It leverages private connectivity solutions like AWS PrivateLink and GCP Private Service Connect. Benefits include a fully managed experience, expert assistance, compliance certifications (HIPAA, PCI), and deployment in additional regions. The service is accessible via the standard PlanetScale API, CLI, and web interface, ensuring a consistent user experience regardless of the deployment model.
