Redis Data Integration (RDI) creates a data streaming pipeline that mirrors data from an existing database to Redis Enterprise. The result: apps can access data at in-memory speeds.
RDI integrates legacy databases with Redis Enterprise in a two-way flow. It performs data ingestion and transformation as well as downstream data changes from Redis Enterprise back into your other databases.
RDI’s ingest flow capability includes a Change Data Capture (CDC) platform to capture changes in the source database. It allows developers to ingest and export data in near real-time and to stream data from the legacy database into a Redis database. Within the RDI process, the data is filtered, transformed, and mapped to Redis data types such as Hash or JSON. RDI then writes the data to the destination Redis database–and your other apps (the modern, up-to-date ones) can interact with the Redis database without complicated workarounds.
The data synchronizes with the legacy database, so its internal systems keep working. And when your big modernization project does happen, you have all the current data without another migration step.
Effectively, RDI helps you transform legacy data into real-time data so you can focus on your current app suite and not on your data transformation.
Improve app performance
Accelerate and scale apps by offloading queries to Redis. You can extend the life of legacy databases that can’t be easily replaced.
Create a microservices data layer
Avoid data bottlenecks from slow databases. Provide a high-performance data layer that scales with your microservices architecture.
Modernize apps
Capture, filter, and transform data while moving it into Redis. Support advanced data models without replacing existing databases.
We will keep adding features to RDI to simplify the integration of Redis Enterprise in a downstream flow. Look for upcoming support for additional caching patterns such as write-behind, write-through, and read-through.
RDI lets you connect your old and slow database and transform it into a real-time data layer. Source databases supported today: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Percona XtraDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Cassandra (including DataStax DSE).
Redis is creating an ecosystem of trusted partners so you can choose the data replication system that fits your needs.
Want to explore the features for yourself? Existing Redis Enterprise customers can download the RDI CLI package and follow the steps in the quick start guide.
If you are not a Redis Enterprise customer, the first step is to install Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes. Then download the RDI CLI package and follow the steps in its quick start guide.
