Description:

Databases are key to almost any project, large or small.  Most database systems in the cloud are designed for heavy use and the costs can get expensive quickly, but database-as-a-service is a rapidly growing area, where many databases can share the same hardware for a much reduced rate, or even for free!  Sam Lambert, CEO of PlanetScale, joins Jason and Patrick to discuss database-as-a-service.
