Vercel + Planetscale
A next.js app deployed to vercel with a planetscale integration. This example app uses the planetscale-node client to query the database
Setup database
- Install Planetscale CLI
- Authenticate the CLI
pscale auth login
- Create a new database (skip this step if you already have a database)
pscale database create <database>
- Create a
development
branch
pscale branch create <database> <branch>
- Connect to your branch
pscale shell <database> <branch>
- Insert example tables
CREATE TABLE users (
id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
email varchar(255) NOT NULL,
password varchar(255) NOT NULL,
name varchar(255)
);
- Create a deploy request
pscale deploy-request create <database> <branch>
- Deploy the deploy request
pscale deploy-request deploy <database> <deploy-request-number>
- To find your
<deploy-request-number>
, simply run:
pscale deploy-request list <database>
- Merge your
development
branch intomain
pscale deploy-request deploy <database> <deploy-request-number>
Clone & Deploy to vercel
- The integration will automatically add the following environment variables to your Vercel project(s)
PLANETSCALE_DB
PLANETSCALE_ORG
PLANETSCALE_TOKEN
PLANETSCALE_TOKEN_NAME
These environment variables are used by planetscale-node client to connect to your database
- Re-deploy your application after the installation is complete and you will have a working app.
