Connect a Remix Application to PlanetScale Through Prisma

You are at a place where you have an app that will persist data through a sqlite database. Sqlite is great for getting started but as you build out your application, you’ll want a database that can scale with your project.

PlanetScale is the database that you are looking for. PlanetScale is a database as a service that powers a mysql database called Vitess. Vitess is what YouTube is ran on so safe to say it will scale to all your needs.

Because you used Prisma to set up your database, switching to PlanetScale will be easy. You will create a PlanetScale project, sign in to the CLI, follow the Prisma Quickstart guide and learn about Database workflows with PlanetScale. Who would have thought it would be so easy to migrate your database service.
