Summary

Netlify has integrated its platform with PlanetScale to enable users to easily deploy complex and data-intensive applications without worrying about underlying infrastructure or data scalability issues. This new integration allows users to connect their Jamstack sites and apps to a production-grade data backend, handling tasks such as inventory management and user data storage. With this integration, users can leverage the recently launched PlanetScale API and OAuth applications to closely integrate PlanetScale branches and deploy requests into their existing workflow. The integration also enables fluid and functional support with data backends, leading to more automated processes and powerful workflows for users running web apps and SaaS on Netlify. To use this integration, users must create a PlanetScale account and database, establish a connection in the Netlify UI, and then trigger calls to their PlanetScale database from their code using the `withPlanetscale` function. The integration also enables seamless insertion of a connection into database calls, allowing users to easily deploy requests and passwords into their existing workflow.
