NO

No, PlanetScale is a managed cloud service built on Vitess. While Vitess is open source, PlanetScale itself cannot be self-hosted.

What We Found

We checked this in April 2026 and here's what we found โ€” PlanetScale is built on Vitess (which powers YouTube's MySQL infrastructure and is open source). However, PlanetScale as a service with its branching, deploy requests, and management features is proprietary and cloud-only. You can self-host Vitess but without PlanetScale's developer experience.
