Case Study: MyFitnessPal achieves database agility and real-time visibility with PlanetScale Managed Vitess

MyFitnessPal frees 3 to 4 engineers from database management with PlanetScale

MyFitnessPal, the world's largest health and nutrition data source, faced significant challenges managing its growing database on Amazon RDS. Valuable internal resources were spent on maintenance, schema changes caused disruptive downtime, and the promised support was unfulfilled. This led them to seek a solution from PlanetScale.

By implementing PlanetScale's managed Vitess platform, MyFitnessPal eliminated the fear of making schema changes with its zero-downtime deployment features. The solution provided exceptional support from PlanetScale's experts and increased visibility through tools like query Insights, which captures 100% of queries for optimization. The results allowed MyFitnessPal's team to focus on their core mission of helping customers achieve their health goals instead of managing database servers.
