PlanetScale: Hyperscale, Cross-Cloud MySQL for Rapid Growth

Jiten Vaidya and PlanetScale co-founder and CTO Sugu Sougoumarane were part of the YouTube team at Google that created Vitess. Their company, PlanetScale, now offers a managed version of Vitess.

If you are someone with a higher than average IQ, you might have the tendency to intellectualize all of your emotions. Stop doing that. Under all that rationality, there is a primitive animal that needs emotional caring, support, kindness, love, expression, space and time.
