JSON File to PlanetScale Integration
AI-first ETL from JSON File into PlanetScale. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads JSON File into PlanetScale
Datrise syncs JSON File's documents, nested objects, arrays, keys, file batches, and schemas 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.
Endpoints
JSON File: Structured JSON documents from exports and drops.
PlanetScale: Serverless MySQL platform with safe schema workflows.
How JSON File entities map to PlanetScale
| JSON File entity | PlanetScale object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| documents | json_file_documents | id PK · custom fields → JSON columns |
| nested objects | json_file_nested_objects | id PK · linked to json_file_documents |
| arrays | json_file_arrays | id PK · linked to json_file_documents |
| keys | json_file_keys | id PK · linked to json_file_documents |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle JSON File'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 JSON File to PlanetScale sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
