Deploy your PlanetScale app to AWS
Step-by-step deployment help for PlanetScale apps on AWS. We fix PlanetScale-specific deployment issues, configure AWS, and get your app live. From $19.
PlanetScale issues we fix before deploying
Common PlanetScale problems that affect AWS deployments.
Foreign key constraint workarounds
PlanetScale doesn't support traditional foreign keys. AI-generated code creates them anyway, causing deployment failures, or skips referential integrity entirely.
Connection string exposure
PlanetScale database URLs with credentials committed to source control or embedded in client-side code.
Missing connection pooling
Serverless functions opening new connections on every invocation instead of using PlanetScale's connection pooling or @planetscale/database driver.
No branch workflow for schema changes
Schema changes deployed directly to the main branch without using PlanetScale's deploy request workflow, risking production data.
AWS deployment issues we check for
Common AWS problems that break PlanetScale apps in production.
IAM policies with wildcard permissions
AI-generated infrastructure code grants Action: '*' and Resource: '*' permissions, violating least-privilege principles and creating critical security exposure.
Security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0
Database and internal service security groups allow inbound traffic from any IP address, exposing RDS instances and backend services to the public internet.
S3 bucket policy allows public read
AI tools configure S3 buckets with public-read ACLs for convenience, inadvertently exposing private user data and application secrets.
Lambda cold starts degrading API performance
Infrequently called Lambda functions experience 3-10 second cold starts. AI-generated architectures don't configure provisioned concurrency or optimize bundle size.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a PlanetScale app to AWS?
We handle PlanetScale deployments to AWS end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your PlanetScale project, then we configure AWS, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What PlanetScale issues affect AWS deployments?
PlanetScale projects commonly have foreign key constraint workarounds and connection string exposure. On AWS, these combine with iam policies with wildcard permissions and security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my PlanetScale project to AWS?
Yes. We specialize in deploying PlanetScale applications to AWS. We audit your codebase for PlanetScale-specific issues, configure AWS correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does PlanetScale deployment to AWS cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all AWS deployment blockers in your PlanetScale project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
