San Francisco, CA · founded 2018
PlanetScale is a San Francisco-founded database company started in 2018 by the co-creators and maintainers of the Vitess open-source project; it sells a serverless, horizontally-scalable MySQL (and now Postgres) platform built for very large workloads. The team is highly distributed and remote-forward, staffed with database experts who lean hard into engineering rigor. Its stated values are blunt and performance-driven ('Raw performance says more than a million features ever could'), which signals a demanding, accountability-heavy culture; the caveat for candidates is that PlanetScale publishes essentially nothing about its benefits, so you will need to ask the recruiter directly rather than compare an offer against a public list.
