Serverless finally has a database

This post introduces the concept of serverless databases and argues that PlanetScale is the solution for serverless developers. It contrasts the advancements in application development (like Serverless and Rails) with the relative stagnation in database technology for typical developers. The post highlights PlanetScale's vision of a data platform designed from scratch for modern developers, offering features like non-blocking schema changes, deploy requests, and database branches, all within a pay-as-you-grow model.
