According to the official website, PlanetScale is the world’s most advanced serverless MySQL platform.

With Drizzle ORM you can access PlanetScale over http through their official database-js driver from serverless and serverfull environments with our drizzle-orm/planetscale-serverless package.

You can also access PlanetScale through TCP with mysql2 driver — see here.

npm
yarn
pnpm
bun
npm i drizzle-orm @planetscale/database
npm i -D drizzle-kit
index.ts
import { drizzle } from "drizzle-orm/planetscale-serverless";
import { connect } from "@planetscale/database";

// create the connection
const connection = connect({
  host: process.env["DATABASE_HOST"],
  username: process.env["DATABASE_USERNAME"],
  password: process.env["DATABASE_PASSWORD"],
});

const db = drizzle(connection);
