Step-by-Step Setup
1. Navigate to Integrations
In your Corelayer dashboard, go to the Integrations page.2. Add PlanetScale Integration
Click the Add Integration button and select PlanetScale from the list of available integrations.3. Select Database Engine
Choose the engine your PlanetScale database uses:- MySQL — Standard PlanetScale MySQL-compatible databases

Provide the following:- Host — Your PlanetScale database host
- Database — The database name
- Username — The credential username
- Password — The credential password
6. Configure Replica (Optional)
If you have a read replica, you can optionally provide replica connection details. This allows Corelayer to query your replica instead of the primary database, reducing load on production:- Replica Host — Your replica hostname
- Replica Database — The replica database name
- Replica Username — Replica credentials
- Replica Password — Replica password
7. Test Connection
Click Test Connection to verify that Corelayer can connect to your PlanetScale database (and replica, if configured).8. Select Tables
Once connected, Corelayer will discover your schemas and tables:- Browse the list of available schemas and tables
- Select the tables you want Corelayer to have access to
- Click Update Selection
9. Add PlanetScale Tables to Your Service Maps
When configuring your Corelayer Service Maps, select which PlanetScale tables are relevant to each service.What Corelayer Can Do With PlanetScale
Once connected, Corelayer will:- Query your selected tables to gather context during debugging
- Analyze data patterns to identify anomalies related to reported issues
- Use read replicas (if configured) to avoid impacting production performance
- Correlate database data with logs and errors from other integrations
Managing Your Integration

- Optionally, revoke the credentials in your PlanetScale dashboard
Troubleshooting
Integration Not Working?
- Verify the connection details (host, database, username, password) are correct
