Note Under construction; use at your own risk

This library implements a JDBC adapter for Planetscale.

Planetscale uses Vitess as a backend, which is wire-compatible with MySQL; thus, this library is a wrapper around the MySQL Connector/J library, which is used for the actual work of connecting and running queries.

This library adds several features, using the MySQL/J connector, to make it easier to work with Planetscale.

Installation

Warning This is not endorsed by Planetscale, and is not yet published to Maven Central.

Coordinates Driver
com.planetscale:planetscale-jvm com.planetscale.Driver

Gradle (Kotlin DSL, via Version Catalogs):

// in settings.gradle.kts

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    versionCatalogs {
        create("planetscale") {
            from("com.planetscale:planetscale-catalog:(latest version)")
        }
    }
}
// in build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    implementation(planetscale.driver)
}

Gradle (Kotlin DSL, one library at a time):

dependencies {
    implementation("com.planetscale:planetscale-jvm:<version>")
}

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.planetscale</groupId>
    <artifactId>planetscale-jvm</artifactId>
    <version><!-- use the latest version --></version>
</dependency>

Features

  • Easy Planetscale connection strings.

    Use jdbc:planetscale://aws or jdbc:planetscale://gcp or connect to a specific region with something like jdbc:planetscale://us-east-1.aws. The adapter builds the right URL for you. These examples become:

jdbc:mysql://aws.connect.psdb.cloud:3306/dbname?...
jdbc:mysql://gcp.connect.psdb.cloud:3306/dbname?...
jdbc:mysql://us-east-1.aws.connect.psdb.cloud:3306/dbname?...
  • Load balanced reads.

    Use more than one endpoint with URLs like: jdbc:planetscale://us-west-1.aws..aws. In this case, the MySQL/J driver is configured with:

jdbc:mysql:replication://us-west-1.aws.connect.psdb.cloud:3306,aws.connect.psdb.cloud:3306/dbname?roundRobinLoadBalance=true&...
  • Eager driver cache and solid defaults.

    The Planetscale driver configures the MySQL/J driver for client-side caching of server configuration, result set metadata, and so on. SSL verification is turned on, as is auto-reconnection. Equivalent driver options:

autoReconnect=true
cacheServerConfiguration=true
cacheResultSetMetadata=true
sslMode=VERIFY_IDENTITY
roundRobinLoadBalance=true
  • Support for Planetscale's options.

    Planetscale options like enableBoost can be applied to configure the underlying URL properly. For example, adding enableBoost=true to the AWS sample URL above, like so: jdbc:planetscale://aws?enableBoost=true, becomes:

jdbc:mysql://aws.connect.psdb.cloud:3306/dbname?sessionVariables=boost_cached_queries=true&...
  • Configure credentials via env vars, properties, or connection URL.

    PLANETSCALE_USERNAME, -Dplanetscale.username, and jdbc:planetscale://user:pass@... are all supported, as are the same variables for the connection password. These are consulted if no user/pass are found in the connection string.

Integration Libraries

There are a few libraries shipped with this repo which make integration easier with various frameworks or systems:

Micronaut Integration

Adds Micronaut property source support for Planetscale configuration. Effectively, the module configures itself as a driver (when enabled), and provides connection parameters as configuration. Otherwise the driver is identical to using the MySQL/J driver library directly.

Usage

Configuration in Micronaut is pretty easy:

planetscale:
  enabled: true
  databases:
    default:
        db: dbname
        username: username-here
        password: password-here
        endpoints:
          - us-west-1.aws
          - aws
        features:
          boost: true

PLANETSCALE_DB, -Dplanetscale.db, and so on, also work. This is roughly equivalent to:

datasources:
  default:
    url: jdbc:mysql://username-here:[email protected]:3306,aws.connect.psdb.cloud:3306/dbname?cacheServerConfiguration=true&cacheResultSetMetadata=true&sslMode=VERIFY_IDENTITY&roundRobinLoadBalance=true&sessionVariables=boost_cached_queries=true
    driverClassName: com.planetscale.Driver
    db-type: mysql
    name: dbname
    username: username-here
    password: password-here
    maximum-pool-size: 32

Installation

Coordinates:

com.planetscale:planetscale-micronaut

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.planetscale</groupId>
    <artifactId>planetscale-micronaut</artifactId>
    <version><!-- use the latest version --></version>
</dependency>

Gradle (Version Catalog):

dependencies {
    implementation(planetscale.integration.micronaut)
}

Kotlin Integration

Adds Kotlin-focused API support for Planetscale. Easily load credentials and configuration, and then obtain a driver instance or connection.

Installation

Coordinates:

com.planetscale:planetscale-kotlin

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.planetscale</groupId>
    <artifactId>planetscale-kotlin</artifactId>
    <version><!-- use the latest version --></version>
</dependency>

Gradle (Version Catalog):

dependencies {
    implementation(planetscale.integration.kotlin)
}

GraalVM Integration

Adds metadata and a supporting feature configuration for GraalVM native image compilation. Reflection configuration is embedded which supports both this adapter and MySQL/J.

Usage

Reflection and resource configuration is automatic. Otherwise, during a native-image build:

native-image ... --features=com.planetscale.PlanetscaleFeature

Installation

Coordinates:

com.planetscale:planetscale-graalvm

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.planetscale</groupId>
    <artifactId>planetscale-graalvm</artifactId>
    <version><!-- use the latest version --></version>
</dependency>

Gradle (Version Catalog):

dependencies {
    implementation(planetscale.integration.graalvm)
}

Library Hygiene

This library is built with Java 21, targeting Java 17 as a minimum baseline. If you need an earlier version of Java, let us know, and we can probably ship one for you (within reason).

The following devops features are baked into the library's code or process:

  • CI/CD: Built, tested, and shipped from a cleanroom environment in Github Actions. CI runners are monitored for security and compliance and updated regularly.

  • Testing: The library has reasonable test coverage, and can be mocked under the hood with H2.

  • Analysis: Linting and static analysis with CodeQL, Detekt, and ktlint.

  • Integrity: Dependencies are locked, hash-sealed and signature-checked. We also ship SBOMs with each release.

  • Provenance: SLSA provenance is issued during the release process, and releases are published to Sigstore. Of course, releases are also signed with PGP.

  • API checks: Each release of the library is stamped with API layout information, so that library consumer breakage can be checked and enforced.

  • Dependencies: Depends on MySQL/J and Kotlin. Each integration library may have other dependencies, like Micronaut or GraalVM.

  • Versioning: Uses Semantic Versioning.

  • Contributions: Uses Developer Certificate of Origin and Contributor License Agreement to ensure contributions are properly licensed.

  • Humans: We are friendly people who are open to contributions, and we adopt a Code of Conduct which encourages good faith collaboration.

  • License: MIT license.

Build caching

This library uses Buildless to cache build artifacts and accelerate builds. This cache project is public, so open-source contributors can use it, too. No setup is needed.
