Contentful → MySQL
AI-first ETL from Contentful into MySQL. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Contentful into MySQL
Datrise syncs Contentful's records, events, and configuration objects into MySQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as DATETIME/TIMESTAMP.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional RANGE partitioning by load date. MySQL collation matters for CRM text, so Datrise lands utf8mb4 to preserve emoji and non-Latin characters.
Ideal for operational reporting and app databases already standardized on MySQL.
Endpoints
Contentful: SaaS or API data source for analytics and warehouse sync.
MySQL: Widely used OSS relational engine (InnoDB).
How Contentful entities map to MySQL
| Contentful entity | MySQL object | Notes |

| records | contentful_records | id PK · custom fields → JSON columns |
| events | contentful_events | DATETIME/TIMESTAMP events |
| configuration objects | contentful_configuration_objects | id PK · linked to contentful_records |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Contentful's custom fields in MySQL?
Flexible values are stored as JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native MySQL types.
How does the Contentful to MySQL sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
