My latest post on control theory and feedback loops has just been published. I’ll start from scratch and gradually build up feedback loops that are self-healing and resilient, capable of scaling thousands of databases.

Operating a massive fleet of databases comes with many challenges.
Kubernetes allows us to do so safely and reliably.
Self-healing systems, configuration management, failover, and more across thousands of nodes.
@fatih walks through how it all works in our latest blog.
⌨️ Try our new connections CLI command to monitor live connection activity for Postgres & Vitess.

PlanetScale has been a phenomenal decision for us. Seriously, one of the most impressive products/services and we've been super happy with them.
Not paid, not sponsored -- don't even know any PS people. Just honest feedback for ya.
With our sharded Postgres product @PS_Neki on the horizon, you might be wondering wtf sharding even is.
The good news is our very own bouncy ball @BenjDicken made a db scaling course a while back covering everything you need to know about sharding!
