Firebase Realtime Database to PlanetScale Integration
AI-first ETL from Firebase Realtime Database into PlanetScale. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Firebase Realtime Database into PlanetScale
Datrise syncs Firebase Realtime Database's nodes, child paths, JSON values, write events, references, and security rules 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.

How Firebase Realtime Database entities map to PlanetScale
| Firebase Realtime Database entity | PlanetScale object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| nodes | firebase_realtime_database_nodes | id PK · custom fields → JSON columns |
| child paths | firebase_realtime_database_child_paths | id PK · linked to firebase_realtime_database_nodes |
| JSON values | firebase_realtime_database_json_values | id PK · linked to firebase_realtime_database_nodes |
| write events | firebase_realtime_database_write_events | DATETIME events |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Firebase Realtime Database's custom fields in PlanetScale?
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 PlanetScale types.
How does the Firebase Realtime Database to PlanetScale sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
