Overview

The following circumstances may trigger a :

1

Deploying for the first time

When you launch a new Artie deployment, we will backfill all the tables.

2

Adding new tables

We will backfill the new tables you have added.

3

Adhoc backfills

Need to backfill a specific table on demand? Just let us know. We are working on making this feature self-serve in the future.

​
How it works

Read replica support

You can specify a read replica for backfills to minimize any impact on your primary database.

Parallel processing

Artie backfills by having parallel processes per table (default is 5). This speeds up the copying process without adding too much load to your database.

Real-time sync

While backfilling, Artie will continue to read your database logs, capturing all new changes in real-time into our Kafka topics. Once the backfill is complete, Artie process will then switch to consume from the Kafka topics.
