Streamline database management using the PlanetScale Netlify integration
Sep 13, 2023Taylor Barnett

Summary
This post introduces the PlanetScale Netlify integration, which automates the connection of Netlify applications to PlanetScale databases. It eliminates the need for manual copying and pasting of connection strings by using OAuth for secure authentication and allowing users to select their desired database and branch. The integration supports assigning specific branches to different deploy contexts (production, deploy preview, local development) and works seamlessly with PlanetScale's Fetch API-compatible JavaScript driver, enabling database access from Netlify Functions.
