We used neon at last job. It seemed pretty cool. What made you switch to planetscale?

Planetscale has better performance and uptime. But the branching keeps me going back to neon…

Yes planetscale can branch too, but it takes longer and you pay individually for each branch

Xata is open-source now, maybe you can give it a try as an alternative to Neon.
