What are some alternatives to PlanetScaleDB?

Amazon RDS

Amazon RDS

Amazon RDS gives you access to the capabilities of a familiar MySQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database engine. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your Database Instance (DB Instance) via a single API call.

Amazon Aurora provides up to five times better performance than MySQL at a price point one tenth that of a commercial database while delivering similar performance and availability.

Needs adviceonAmazon DynamoDBAmazon DynamoDBPlanetScaleDBPlanetScaleDBMySQLMySQL

Hello there! I want to build a web code-sharing tool, and I was wondering which database is suitable for storing source code and version. I thought about Amazon DynamoDB because it scales very well, but I'm afraid it could not satisfy all my access patterns. On the other hand, I have PlanetScaleDB, a serverless MySQL database meaning I will not have to worry about scaling, but I'm wondering if it is suitable for storing source code and accessing it quickly.

I want to use it on my blog to show source code on my posts. I have around 10k views per month, and a blog post has around 5 - 15 code snippets. It will continue to grow since I write frequently. So, I want a database that will not get swamped while blog posts and visitors increase.

Can you help me make a choice, please? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
