Gluesync SQL to NoSQL

Targeting Google Cloud Storage

Core principles

Objects storage in Google Cloud Storage is capable of providing a flexible, scalable and cost-effective solution for storing large amounts of data in an object format like JSON files.

Gluesync offers the support to store data coming from supported RDBMS databases into Google Cloud Storage buckets in JSON format using native Google Cloud SDK.

JSON stored in the Google Cloud Storage destination bucket will be stored using the best practices suggested by Google Cloud with keyspace support, this means that documents will be stored in folders grouped by source schema and table name, named by their primary key.

Not just documents storage

A useful option, especially if your bucket is intended for cold storage of objects, is the possibility to tell Gluesync to skip any document deletion action to preserve them inside the bucket while you are removing this data from your source database.

Architectural overview

Here in the following diagram represents an architectural overview of the environment you are going to have after having deployed Gluesync.

I am looking to store other file formats like CSV or XML files, is it supported? We’re open to support a wider amount of different use cases and that also means different file formats for your object storage needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us to let us know your need: we’re more than happy to accommodate your feature request.

I am looking to use an object storage service like Google Cloud Storage but from another vendor/provider, is it supported?
