Stitch (data integration engine)¶
Stitch is a managed cloud ETL/ELT service (acquired by Talend, now part of Qlik) that moves data between operational sources (databases, SaaS APIs) and analytical destinations (warehouses, lakes). On the sysdesign-wiki it shows up as one of the canonical OLTP-to-OLAP offload engines PlanetScale recommends users reach for when their workload genuinely belongs in a warehouse rather than inside the PlanetScale OLTP envelope — peer of Airbyte and Fivetran.
Role in the PlanetScale architecture¶
From sources/2026-04-21-planetscale-supports-notes-from-the-field:
For large ETL workloads, we support data integration engines such as Airbyte and Stitch, with which you can offload these processes to other platforms that are more specialized in this field.
PlanetScale's architectural recommendation when a user hits the [[concepts/planetscale-hard-transaction-query-timeouts|20 s / 900 s hard timeouts]] repeatedly is to move the analytical workload off PlanetScale entirely, and Airbyte or Stitch are the canonical integration engines for doing so. This is the same OLTP-vs-OLAP split surfaced at the recommendation-ladder layer.

— Stitch listed alongside Airbyte as the canonical ETL-offload
option for PlanetScale users whose workload is genuinely OLAP.
"For large ETL workloads, we support data integration engines
such as Airbyte and Stitch." Mentioned as the preferred
architectural answer over
set workload='olap';, which is framed explicitly as a last-resort escape hatch.
