Synchronize MySQL data to Tablestore-Tablestore(Tablestore)-阿里云帮助中心

You can use DataX, DTS, canal, or Tapdata Cloud to synchronize data from a MySQL database to Tablestore.

Scenarios

Data architecture changes
You can migrate data from your MySQL database to Tablestore if your current MySQL data architecture cannot meet demands for high concurrent reads and writes, scalability, availability, or complex retrieval.
Tablestore is a multi-model structured data store developed by Alibaba Cloud. It stores massive amounts of structured data and offers unlimited horizontal scalability. Tablestore also provides powerful query features for both online and offline data analysis. Because Tablestore is a fully managed service, you do not need to worry about hardware and software provisioning, configuration, failures, cluster scaling, or security. This significantly reduces management costs.
Big data analytics
Performing big data analytics on MySQL is complex. It requires integrating multiple tools, such as stream processing components, storage systems, and computing components. If your business uses MySQL and your analytics needs are growing, you can migrate your data to Tablestore. Tablestore has a rich ecosystem that connects to big data tools such as MaxCompute and Blink. This connection makes it easy to implement stream and batch processing.
Scalability and cost optimization
As your business grows, a MySQL database can face storage and compute resource limits. Migrating to Tablestore lets you scale these resources on demand. Tablestore is also more cost-effective for storing infrequently accessed cold data.

You can select the appropriate synchronization solution based on your data migration scenario.

Synchronization solution	Description
Synchronize MySQL data using DataX	Use DataX to synchronize full or incremental data from a MySQL database, such as a self-managed instance or an RDS for MySQL instance, to a data table in Tablestore.
Synchronize MySQL data using DTS	Use Data Transmission Service (DTS) to synchronize data from a MySQL database to a data table in Tablestore. This easily facilitates data flow.
Synchronize MySQL data using Canal	Canal is suitable for small to medium-sized databases and individual developers. Use canal to synchronize full or incremental data from a MySQL database to a data table in Tablestore. Canal is simple to deploy and easy to maintain.
Import MySQL data using Tapdata Cloud	Use the visualization interface of Tapdata Cloud to synchronize data in real time from self-managed MySQL, Alibaba Cloud RDS for MySQL, and third-party cloud databases to Tablestore.
