I just started using Planetscale for small projects here and there. More and more of my projects are FE-heavy and don't require a big dedicated database (NextJS apps, mostly hardcoded designs or headless CMS like Sanity). There are times where I need to store just small bits of data, maybe contact form submissions or something. It's been super great to be able to quickly hook up planetscale to a nextjs api function and have that data persisted within a matter of minutes.
I've yet to use it on anything large-scale, though, so I can't speak to performance when you're really pushing it.
I've always just leveraged existing connections. I'm not great at selling myself, but I've done a lot of good work for a handful of people that ARE good at talking me up. Reach out to people that you've done good work for and let them know that you are looking for some side gigs. You might not get anything right away, but things could start trickling in. This has opened up a lot of opportunities for me.
