Overview

Training and tutorials

Datastream is a serverless and easy-to-use change data capture (CDC) and replication service. It allows you to seamlessly replicate data from relational database sources such as Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL directly into BigQuery, reliably, and with minimal latency and downtime.

Datastream also supports streaming changes from Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases into Cloud Storage. In addition to these destinations, the service offers streamlined integration by using Dataflow templates to build custom workflows to replicate your databases into Cloud SQL or Cloud Spanner for database synchronization, or leverage the event stream directly from Cloud Storage to realize event-driven architectures.
