<p>Bipost is database synchronization & ETL tool for continually moving data from on-premises to AWS Aurora MySQL and back forth.</p>
<p>Created to keep your Windows databases on-premises while providing a way to extract, load & transform specific sets of data to AWS Aurora. Two-way synchronization lets you sync from AWS back to on-prem database. It is not intended to work as a replication engine or mirroring an entire database.</p>

<h2 id="use-cases">Use Cases<a class="headerlink" href="#use-cases" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Consolidate/merge information on AWS from across multiple locations and database engines, e.g. consolidate sales, inventory and financial information from several branches.</li>
<li>Build a Data Warehouse and make Analytics and Business Intelligence dashboards using <a href="https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/data-studio/" target="_blank">Google Data Studio</a> or <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/quicksight/" target="_blank">AWS QuickSight</a>, with native connection to Aurora-MySQL.</li>
<li>Make forecasts and statistical analysis with AWS services.</li>
<li>Extend your on-prem ERP & POS to AWS cloud and build web applications & back-end services.</li>
<li>Push data from AWS to on-prem systems.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2 id="how-it-works">How it works<a class="headerlink" href="#how-it-works" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Bipost Sync reads table schema's and data and uploads it to AWS.</li>
<li>Database and tables are created/altered if they don't exist, and data is loaded to Aurora-MySQL.</li>
<li>Before and after data is loaded to Aurora-MySQL you can transform data with stored procedures.</li>
<li>Don't worry about sending the same data multiple times. Data is replaced using primary keys, avoiding duplicates.</li>
<li>Run manually or automatically with a Windows Task schedule.</li>
<li>Upload big datasets using Recursive Sync.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>Data is also available as CSV files on S3 so you can use other AWS services like <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/athena/" target="_blank">Amazon Athena</a> and <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/glue/" target="_blank">AWS Glue</a> to build your data lake.</p>
