MySQL is significantly better than when you last used it. We also add Vitess in the middle which adds incredible benefit. We run clusters at huge scale with solid reliability. A lot of the features you have enjoyed on the PlanetScale platform so far are there because of the power of MySQL + Vitess. I've seen some other vendors mentioned here but unless they have Vitess they have nothing close in terms of power.

If you have feedback or want to learn more about PlanetScale feel free to email me [email protected]

If you use Planetscale and/or Vitess can your code still work with a “normal” mysql later? Yeah I guess I am thinking about lock in there!

Yes you can use vanilla MySQL afterwards. A bunch of our users use MySQL in local dev and PlanetScale for production.
