Description
Migrating from Firebase to PlanetScale cloud database to enhance performance and leverage MySQL as the database solution.
Context
Firebase
Firebase has served as our primary database solution, offering various features that have supported our application's needs. However, as our application has grown, we've identified the need for a more streamlined and efficient database setup.
PlanetScale
PlanetScale offers a compelling alternative to Firebase, particularly in terms of query performance and flexibility. By utilizing PlanetScale's integration with Prisma, we anticipate significant improvements in query speed and the ability to retrieve specific fields, thereby reducing the overall request time for our application.
Goals
- Enhanced Performance: Migrating to PlanetScale aims to reduce request time and optimize the performance of our application.
- Selective Field Retrieval: PlanetScale's integration with Prisma will allow us to retrieve specific fields efficiently, minimizing unnecessary data transfer.
- Transition to MySQL: By moving to PlanetScale, we'll be transitioning to MySQL, which offers a robust and well-established database solution.
Plan
- Data Migration: Develop a comprehensive plan for migrating data from Firebase to PlanetScale while ensuring data integrity and minimal disruption.
- Prisma Integration: Leverage PlanetScale's integration with Prisma to optimize query generation and data retrieval.
- Testing and Quality Assurance: Rigorously test the new setup to ensure that the migration has been successful and that query performance has improved as expected.
Expected Impact
Migrating to PlanetScale is expected to have a positive impact on our application's performance, query speed, and data retrieval efficiency. By optimizing our database setup and leveraging PlanetScale's features, we anticipate a more responsive and seamless user experience.
This issue will serve as a central point for discussing the migration process, tracking progress, and addressing any challenges that may arise during the transition.
