ReplicaDB is open source tool for database replication designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between relational and NoSQL databases.
ReplicaDB helps offload certain tasks, such as ETL or ELT processing, for efficient execution at a much lower cost. Actualy, ReplicaDB works with Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server, Denodo, CSV on local files or on Amazon S3 and Kafka.
ReplicaDB is Cross Platform; you can replicate data across different platforms, with compatibility for many databases. You can use Parallel data transfer for faster performance and optimal system utilization.
Because I have not found any tool that covers my needs:
- Open Source.
- Java based cross-platform solution.
- Any database engine SQL, NoSQL or other persistent stores like CSV, Amazon S3 or Kafka.
- Simple architecture, just a command line tool that can run on any server (including my laptop), without any remote agents in the databases.
- Good performance for a large amount of data.
- I do not need streaming replication, or a pure change data capture (CDC) system that requires installation in the source database.
I have reviewed and tested other open source tools and none of them meets all the above requirements:
- SymetricDS: It was the best option of all, but I was looking for a smaller solution, mainly focused on performance. SymmetricDS is intrusive since installs database triggers that capture data changes in a data capture table. This table requires maintenance. SymmetricDS is more like a CDC system based on triggers.
- Sqoop: Sqoop is what I was looking for, but oh! it is only valid for Hadoop.
- Kettel and Talend: Both are very complete ETL tools, but for each of the different source and sink tables that I have to replicate, I should do a custom development
ReplicaDB is written in Java and requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Standard Edition (SE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) Standard Edition (SE) version 8.0 or above. The minimum operating system requirements are:
- Java SE Runtime Environment 8 or above
- Memory - 128 (MB) available
Just download latest release and unzip it.

You can use ReplicaDB with any JDBC-compliant database. First, download the appropriate JDBC driver for the type of database you want to use, and install the .jar
file in the $REPLICADB_HOME/lib
directory on your client machine. Each driver .jar
file also has a specific driver class which defines the entry-point to the driver.
$ docker run \
-v /tmp/replicadb.conf:/home/replicadb/conf/replicadb.conf \
osalvador/replicadb
Visit the project homepage on Docker Hub for more information.

You can create a configuration file for a ReplicaDB process by filling out a simple form: ReplicaDB configuration wizard
Source and Sink tables must exists.
