The Best Database Services for Frontend Developers

During the year I have been using Planetscale I have never experienced anything bad or technical problems, everything is smooth and runs well

PROS

Database platforms like Planetscale really help me when working on website projects with a small team, even without having a backend developer

CONS

There is no GUI feature to backup and download the database, everything has to be done via the CLI

Reasons for switching to PlanetScale

Using Planetscale services saves more time than if you had to manage the database yourself
