You did the easy part. Now do the managed database part, and at scale, whereby I don't have to worry about any chance of data loss. Otherwise this isn't "building PlanetScale" - it's building 1/100th of it.
It annoys me when people claim they've "easily and quickly" built something that took many developers many months or years worth of work and optimization to build a solid product.
It's like someone who generates a pretty looking HTML page with an LLM and claims they've built a customer-facing product. So much slop these days...
I am not sure where you think I claimed it'll be "easy and quick". Do you really think building a system on top of k8s internals and Ceph is something that everybody can pull off?.
