CloudQuery Platform Syncs are in Open Beta
In the past, we have introduced a few different ways for our customers to deploy CloudQuery on Amazon ECS, Kubernetes, or orchestrate it with Kestra. We are now adding an option that is going to make running syncs with CloudQuery even easier: Cloud Syncs.
What Are Cloud Syncs? #
Cloud syncs are a great way to get started with CloudQuery and sync data from source to destination without the need to deploy your own infrastructure. You only need to select a source and destination plugin and CloudQuery will take care of the rest.
With Cloud Syncs, you can:
- Sync data from any CloudQuery official source to any CloudQuery official destination.
- Schedule syncs to run at regular intervals.
- Monitor syncs and view logs in the CloudQuery Platform dashboard.
- Use the CloudQuery Platform API to manage the syncs and connect to your other data pipelines.
How to get started? #
Here’s how to create your first sync:
- Make sure you have a database and know how to connect to it. A quick way to get started if you don't already have a database is by creating a Neon account and getting a connection string from there.
- Sign up at cloud.CloudQuery.io and start creating your first sync from the Syncs tab.
- The default destination is the CloudQuery PostgreSQL Destination Integration. Just scroll down and paste in the connection string in the Secrets section
- On the next page, set up your source. You can use any of the official source or destination plugins and you can configure the same way you would if you ran the sync locally.
- Finally, set up your sync schedule and the allocated resources.
That’s it! You can run the sync immediately, or just wait for it to run at the scheduled time.
Once the sync has been completed, you can query the data with SQL directly from your database.
