using @PlanetScale is so nice with agents
after making an account, the agent signed up for billing, swapped over a staging database from supabase, duplicated all the data over, set everything up, updated my vercel envs all from a single prompt

It's been one month since we released the Neki platform preview.
Since then we've added $50 Metal nodes, improved Postgres compatibility, read-only replicas, Azure support, and much more.

There's an obvious way to build a database router. We didn't do that.
Nothing's faster than doing nothing. See how we built Neki with the laziest Postgres router possible.

The Roadster is like any proper engineering project: delivered a few years late and with rockets attached.
