We've updated the Vitess database import experience to use Vitess workflows. This provides a seamless experience for bringing data from existing MySQL or MariaDB databases into PlanetScale.
The new import workflow takes your source database connection info, runs compatibility checks, and then monitors every phase of the migration with real-time progress, replication metrics, and traffic switching controls. You can optionally verify data before switching read and write traffic to PlanetScale. Provider-specific guides are available for Aurora, RDS, Azure Database for MySQL, Google Cloud SQL, DigitalOcean, MariaDB, and more.
