Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this startup deal.

PlanetScale is MySQL-compatible via the Vitess protocol. Most MySQL client libraries and ORMs (Prisma, Laravel, Rails) work without modification. Some advanced MySQL features (foreign key constraints enforced at database level) are handled differently in Vitess.
