PlanetScale, Inc.

PlanetScale, Inc. is a software publisher best known for its MySQL-compatible serverless database platform, and its catalog includes the PlanetScale CLI, the official command line interface for interacting with that platform. The pscale command line tool extends the database experience beyond the browser by exposing the platform's workflow-oriented features directly in the terminal, including database branches, deploy requests, and schema management. Rather than functioning as a loose collection of commands, the CLI is designed around a development workflow in which schema changes are made on isolated branches and then promoted to production through reviewable deploy requests, mirroring the pull request model familiar from version control systems. Typical use cases include creating and switching between database branches during feature development, opening and merging deploy requests to apply schema changes safely without downtime, and administering databases, regions, and credentials from scripts or continuous integration pipelines. Because it runs from the command line, the tool fits naturally into developer automation, infrastructure-as-code practices, and CI/CD environments where database operations must be repeatable and auditable. This places the product squarely in the developer tools and database management software category, aimed at engineering teams building web applications and services that rely on a managed relational database. Users of the PlanetScale CLI are typically application developers, DevOps engineers, and database administrators who need to integrate schema migrations and database lifecycle operations into their everyday tooling.
