Let's Build PlanetScale from Scratch: Infrastructure
The author details the development of 'Homescale,' an open-source project designed to provide database cloning and branching capabilities similar to PlanetScale. The project utilizes a container-like model for database snapshots to enable efficient development workflows.
Why it matters
It demonstrates how infrastructure-level database management tools can be democratized and built by individual developers using modern storage technologies.
I worked for a database tools company many years ago and was lucky enough to build a few database cloning tools before PlanetScale was cool.
This is a technical project overview with no political or social bias.
