Configure a source MySQL database

You can use Datastream to stream change data capture (CDC) updates from a cloud-hosted or self-managed MySQL database to a supported destination, such as BigQuery or Cloud Storage. Depending on your MySQL deployment type, you configure row-based binary logging and log retention so that Datastream can read database events.

Supported databases

Datastream works with the following types of MySQL databases:

  • Amazon RDS for MySQL
  • Amazon Aurora MySQL
  • Cloud SQL for MySQL
  • Self-managed MySQL
