Case Study: May achieves secure, compliant payment processing at scale with PlanetScale

May handles 3x growth with PlanetScale

May, a B2B financial services company based in France, faced significant challenges in handling sensitive financial data for their expense allocation product. They needed a database solution that could guarantee data residency in France, ensure high security and compliance with EU regulations, and handle cyclical usage spikes—all without a dedicated in-house DevOps or DBA team. These stringent performance and privacy requirements led them to evaluate PlanetScale.

PlanetScale provided a secure, single-tenant cloud database that met May's needs for data locality, private VPN connections, and role-based access control. The solution was easy to set up and offered superior developer tooling, which saved May the cost of hiring experts and allowed them to focus capital on product development. With PlanetScale, May gained confidence in their system's stability and its ability to handle a predicted 3x data growth over the next 6-8 quarters.
