PlanetScale has been two products in one. It was born at Youtube as MySQL sharding solution for massive scale. In the last few years though it was adding features usable for developers on the small scale too, who do not need sharding but looking for database with better developer experience than MySQL.
I wonder if this change signals it is "Database for Large amount of Data" is what drives most of business. Companies who have 10TB+ database size, where Sharding is of real value will not think twice about paying $40 to do initial testing on paid account.
