I don't love the recent changes of PlanetScale to remove their free tier. That said, their database branching workflow is absolutely the best I've used as a dev. I can easily spin up a branch for working on a new feature and make a merge request with schema changes just like I would git. The only gotcha here is that to make it work well in CI, you have to write a few scripts with their cli to avoid doing things manually.

Vercel makes deployment easy and removes the need for infrastructure management. If you use Vercel Edge Functions, your whole site is on a global CDN which means that speeds are incredible.

The developer experience is second to none. State just works, the performance is wild, and deployment options are diverse. I definitely see Svelte becoming one of the biggest web frameworks in coming years.
