Summary

Fivetran has announced an integration with PlanetScale, allowing users to extract, load, and transform data from their PlanetScale databases using Fivetran's fully managed data integration capabilities. The integration is quick to set up and benefits from Fivetran's large ecosystem of connectors and destinations. It enables users to send their data to multiple destinations without building bespoke solutions, providing near-immediate access to insights from their database. This setup saves time for engineering teams, allowing them to focus on other tasks, while also enabling self-serve analytics capabilities in business areas outside of Engineering. The integration was built with Fivetran's Connector SDK and provides PlanetScale-specific documentation directly in the Fivetran UI.
