Zero downtime data migrations with PlanetScale Data Imports

PlanetScale now supports zero downtime data migrations from your existing MySQL database with our new Data Imports tool. We’re leveraging the power of Vitess to let you try us out as a replica and then easily switch over your database to PlanetScale completely. No dumping your data, no restoring from backup. Just give us a connection and let us handle the rest.

When you connect your existing MySQL database to PlanetScale, you instantly get to experience the power of PlanetScale’s platform, which includes:

The tool will help you along the way to make your data import successful and alert you on any incompatibility issues we may encounter.

Try importing your existing MySQL Database on PlanetScale and let us know how we can make this better. We’d love to hear from you on any ideas you have to improve onboarding.
