**What do you like best about PlanetScale Vitess Operator?**

It is probably the best MySQL as a service platform in existance. Modern, blazing fast, easy to use from any languages, easy to scale and implement.

**What do you dislike about PlanetScale Vitess Operator?**

They deprecated their free tier, which means the smallest plan is now 39$/month. That means when you want to build a small project that will or will not scale in time, you cannot use PlanetScale anymore.

**What problems is PlanetScale Vitess Operator solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They help you get a MySQL database up and running in record time, accessible from all around the world, without any hassle. They can scale with your workload, they even have multiple branches for preview/production. Overall it's a very nice product.
