Case Study: Mintify scales to 30TB and 2T+ records with PlanetScale

Preparing for growth to 30 terabytes with PlanetScale

Mintify, an NFT trading terminal aiming to become the Bloomberg for NFTs, was struggling to scale its database as data volumes surged toward 30 terabytes and calculations expanded to more than 2 trillion records. On its previous DigitalOcean setup, the team faced CPU and RAM limits, frequent migrations, hours of downtime, and growing pressure to add senior database expertise.

Mintify moved to PlanetScale for a MySQL-compatible, horizontally scalable database with managed sharding and a stronger support experience. With PlanetScale, Mintify now runs a highly available multi-cluster setup, keeps intensive calculations off the primary production environment, and has reduced downtime and scaling pain while gaining confidence in handling future growth to 30TB and beyond.
