PlanetScale today announced that its flagship product PlanetScaleDB is now available through the Red Hat Marketplace. Red Hat Marketplace is an open cloud marketplace for enterprise customers to discover, try, purchase, deploy and manage certified container-based software across environments—public and private, cloud and on-premises. Through the marketplace, customers can take advantage of responsive support, streamlined b****** and contracting, simplified governance, and single-dashboard visibility across multiple Cloud ecosystems.
PlanetScale and its Containerization Models
PlanetScaleDB, a fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), is MySQL compatible and built on both Kubernetes and Vitess, an open source project used by GitHub, HubSpot, Slack and Square to serve millions of queries per second. PlanetScale’s founders co-created Vitess, the database sharding solution that originally powered YouTube during its hyper-growth to billions of users. With PlanetScaleDB, enterprises can leverage Vitess to scale their databases and handle the most demanding applications.
At the time of this announcement, Jiten Vaidya, CEO and co-founder of PlanetScale said —
“PlanetScaleDB provides enterprises with a fully managed cloud-native database that allows companies to start small, and will grow with them as they scale. Our product is built on battle-tested Vitess and designed for modern applications, enabling disaster recovery for maximum uptime and business continuity.”
Built in collaboration with Red Hat and IBM, Red Hat Marketplace delivers a hybrid multi-Cloud trifecta for organizations moving into the next era of computing: a robust ecosystem of partners, an industry-leading Kubernetes container platform, and award-winning commercial support—all on a highly scalable backend powered by IBM.

PlanetScale DB + IBM Red Hat: Flexibility with Improved Performance and Security at Every Stage of Cloud Deployment and Management
Red Hat Marketplace is designed to meet the unique needs of developers, procurement teams, and IT leaders through simplified and streamlined access to popular enterprise software.
All solutions available through the marketplace have been tested and certified for Red Hat OpenShift, allowing them to run anywhere OpenShift runs. A containers-based approach helps ensure that applications can be run and managed the exact same way, regardless of the underlying cloud infrastructure. This gives companies the flexibility to run their workloads on-premise or in any public or private cloud with improved portability and confidence that their applications and data are protected against vendor lock-in.
