Hello! I'm building an app using Remix + Prisma + PlanetScale + Vercel. What are the advantages of creating a cloud prisma project with Planetscale and using Prisma Data Proxy vs not? Planetscale already offers the benefits of scaling thousands of db connections in a serverless environment from what I understand, so I'm curious what the added benefit is of the Data Proxy.

Hey Jeremy 👋 Welcome to our community! Prisma Data Proxy is one of the features of the Prisma Data Platform. We are working on other features besides the data proxy that we think our users will find very valuable, but right now the data proxy is probably the most relevant and crucial if you are on serverless. PlanetScale supports a higher number of database connections than other traditional RDBMS providers, 1K on the free plan, 10K in the Scaler plan with the ability to pay for more, so you wouldn’t need Prisma Data Proxy as of now, we will be adding many more regions in which Prisma data proxy will run in future so at that time Data Proxy would be useful for you.

Thanks for the explanation!
