Desk.com to PlanetScale Integration

How Datrise loads Desk.com into PlanetScale

Datrise syncs Desk.com's cases, customers, interactions, agents, labels, and replies 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.
