Contentful to PlanetScale Integration
AI-first ETL from Contentful into PlanetScale. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Contentful into PlanetScale
Datrise syncs Contentful's entries, content types, assets, spaces, locales, and publish events into PlanetScale 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.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Vitess sharding by tenant or entity key for very large tables. PlanetScale disallows foreign-key constraints by default, so Datrise models relationships by stable id columns rather than enforced FKs.
Ideal for horizontally scalable MySQL apps on Vitess.
