I've currently completed a replication between my on-premise MYSQL database and an Amazon RDS Instance using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). My challenge now is to allow them to both sync with each other realtime as opposed to doing scheduled mysql dumps. I believe continuous replication is currently supported for Microsoft SQL servers but what about MYSQL?

I would like to sync the local MySQL database to Amazon RDS MySQL database. I found a solution for EC2 to RDS but not for Local Database to RDS.
I built a database including 12 tables which all I want to get backup them to cloud periodically or automatically.
I do not want to run EC2 server since I need only MySQL database to get backup on cloud.
I need a solution like Microsoft Database Sync Agent. Whenever changes detected in Local Database, it should be synced to the cloud database. How can I make this happen?
You could use the AWS Database Migration Service:
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is a cloud service that makes it easy to migrate relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and other types of data stores. You can use AWS DMS to migrate your data into the AWS Cloud, between on-premises instances (through an AWS Cloud setup), or between combinations of cloud and on-premises setups.
With AWS DMS, you can perform one-time migrations, and you can replicate ongoing changes to keep sources and targets in sync.
You can achieve this by following below steps.
Make a replica of local server to RDS.
Enable Query logging in local Database
Create a cron job which will process logging queries and it will execute queries on RDS instance in same order.
To generate a replica to RDS you can follow below steps.
You can't replicate your local database to RDS directly. Your need to dump you data and then after you can import it on RDS.
Instead of generating a dump file you can directly import data into RDS using below command.
mysqldump db_name | mysql -h 'other_hostname' db_name
You can find our more about this over here.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/copying-databases.html
Also first import tables & it's data then after import your triggers, routines & events. If you import together then there is a chances to get conflict and you job will be terminated.
I am setting up a connection between MySQL Workbench and Amazon AWS RDS MySQL database. How can I sync the two databases?
The operation (Inserting, deleting and updating) directly happens to cloud (AWS RDS) database instead of storing first on the local database which is further sync to cloud. Because it is taking much time in storing procedure directly to the cloud.
I expect all operations happen first in a local database which then syncs to the cloud database.
You may be interested in using the AWS Database Migration Service, which should be able to meet all of your requirements including remote replication of your local database. (https://aws.amazon.com/dms/)
We have a large AWS RDS(MySQL) Instance and we need to replicate data from it to another Ec2 Instance, daily at a certain time for reporting and analysis purpose.
currently we are using mysqldump to create a dump file and then copy the whole schema which takes a lot of time. Is there a faster way of doing this, it would be a lot better if it copies only the new records.
How can we copy data without copying whole schema every time?
You should look at the Database Migration Service. Don't be confused by the name. It can do continuous or one time replication. From the FAQ:
Q. In addition to one-time data migration, can I use AWS Database
Migration Service for continuous data replication?
Yes, you can use AWS Database Migration Service for both one-time data
migration into RDS and EC2-based databases as well as for continuous
data replication. AWS Database Migration Service will capture changes
on the source database and apply them in a transactionally-consistent
way to the target. Continuous replication can be done from your data
center to the databases in AWS or in the reverse, replicating to a
database in your datacenter from a database in AWS. Ongoing continuous
replication can also be done between homogeneous or heterogeneous
databases. For ongoing replication it would be preferable to use
Multi-AZ for high-availability.
You can use AWS Glue to do the database migration as an ETL job periodically.
You can also consider using AWS Data Migration Service (DMS).
However AWS Glue is preferred over DMS for ETL jobs that runs within AWS and you are familiar with Python or Scala to write the transformation logic.
Q: When should I use AWS Glue vs AWS Database Migration Service?
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) helps you migrate databases to AWS easily and securely. For use cases which require a database migration from on-premises to AWS or database replication between on-premises sources and sources on AWS, we recommend you use AWS DMS. Once your data is in AWS, you can use AWS Glue to move and transform data from your data source into another database or data warehouse, such as Amazon Redshift.
I am new to Amazon RDS, and looking to get answer for my question below and couldn't find the answer on stackoverflow yet.
I have a MySQL Database on premise that I want to synchronize with the MySQL Database on Amazon RDS. I understand that replication is possible with Amazon RDS, but how about continuous synchronization? Say my existing local database has one transaction that has been made, I want to synchronize just that transaction, either immediately or by schedule, so that I don't need to replicate the whole thing to RDS.
Does RDS have this feature for MySQL or any other database?
If not, what tools should I be using? EC2 + ? ?
Or is there any database that supports this so I can just run the database on EC2?
Your best (first) option should probably be the AWS Database Migration Service. This is a migration service for exactly your use-case.
If uptime is less of an issue, you could always do a mysql_dump, move that to an EC2 instance and load that into an RDS instance.
I have a ruby on rails run on amazon ec2, database is mySQL.
Now I want to use Amazon RDS to backup this database in case the ec2 fails.
I read through the Amazon RDS user guide,it tells how to create a DB instance.
My question is:
1.what is the relation between created DB instance and my ec2 database?
2.When the DB instance "connect" to my ec2, what will happen?
The data used to send to ec2 mySQL server will be send to DB instance?
Is the database totally shifted to DB instance?So before I connect I should creare a same database in DB instance and tell ec2 send data to RDS ever since
3.If not,how the DB instance know the ec2 is down and takeover the data?
EDIT:
(Unsure)Is it that DB instance is just a place to put database.In order to use it,I need to set up database in DB instance,then connect to it by modifying database.yml file(this file tell rails server where the stored data goes).
How Is it possible to tell when the local database stops then at that time switch to DB instance?
There is absolutely no relationship between your EC2 MySQL DB and the RDS DB Instance. So what you are asking for is just not possible.
A better approach I would say is to have only RDS (No need to have MySQL running locally on EC2 instance). RDS takes snapshots regularly. Also, RDS is a managed service, so most of the MySQL administration tasks are handled by AWS and you don't have to worry. And you can rely on RDS snapshots from Backup perspective.
