There are many reasons you may need to move and/or transform your application data: to improve database performance, consolidate data, provide access to other teams in your organization to safely query data, and other reasons specific to your use case. With PlanetScale Connect (now in Beta), you can easily perform ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) actions on your data to fulfill your application needs. With the PlanetScale Connect, you can integrate with existing ELT platforms to extract data from your PlanetScale database and safely load it into other destinations for analysis, transformation, and more. You'll be able to select your PlanetScale database as a source within Airbyte, choose from hundreds of connectors, perform transformations on your data before loading it into its final destination, giving you complete control over migrating, transforming, and uploading data with just a few clicks and configurations. Implementing an established ELT pipeline can improve how you maintain and query historical data, consolidate unnecessary data, enrich data with additional context, increase productivity, and ensure accuracy of your data. PlanetScale Connect addresses three key issues: schema discovery, initial data dump, and incremental data synchronization to function as a source for an ELT platform.
