MySQL powers more web applications than any other database, running behind WordPress (43% of all websites), Laravel, Ruby on Rails, and millions of custom applications. MySQL 8.x delivers modern features — window functions, CTEs, JSON support, and invisible indexes — while maintaining its legendary ease of use and reliability. PlanetScale provides serverless MySQL with branching, non-blocking schema changes, and automatic scaling. For web applications where reliability, broad hosting support, and ecosystem maturity matter, MySQL remains the proven choice.
Every hosting provider supports MySQL. Deploy on shared hosting ($5/month), managed services (PlanetScale, AWS RDS), or self-hosted. No deployment limitations.
28+ years of production battle-testing. MySQL powers Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, and 43% of all websites through WordPress.
InnoDB buffer pool and query cache deliver exceptional read performance. Perfect for read-heavy web applications (blogs, catalogs, news sites).
PlanetScale provides serverless MySQL with branching (like Git for your database), non-blocking schema changes, and automatic scaling. Modern MySQL for modern apps.

Use PlanetScale for production MySQL. Its branching workflow makes schema changes safe — test against real data, then deploy with zero-downtime. No more risky ALTER TABLE on production.
MySQL has become the go-to choice for web applications because it balances developer productivity with production performance. The ecosystem maturity means fewer custom solutions and faster time-to-market.
| Layer | Tool |
|---|---|
| Database | MySQL 8.x |
| ORM | Prisma / Sequelize / Eloquent |
| Managed | PlanetScale / AWS RDS / DigitalOcean |
| Replication | Source-replica / Group Replication |
| Monitoring | Performance Schema / PMM |
| Backup | mysqldump / Percona XtraBackup |
A MySQL web application uses InnoDB tables for all data with proper indexing on query patterns. Connection pooling (through the ORM or PgBouncer equivalent like ProxySQL) manages database connections efficiently. Read replicas distribute read queries for high-traffic applications.
PlanetScale provides a modern workflow — create a branch for schema changes, test with production data copy, and merge with a deploy request that applies changes non-blocking. JSON columns store flexible data (user preferences, product attributes) without schema changes. Full-text indexes power site search across content fields.
For Laravel applications, Eloquent ORM provides an expressive query builder with relationships, scopes, and eager loading.
