What Are the Differences Between Data Migration and Synchronization?
| Item | Data Migration | real-time synchronization |
|---|---|---|
| Scenario | Migration can be performed between different cloud platforms, from on-premises databases to cloud databases, or on cloud databases across regions. | Real-time analysis, report system, and data warehouse environment |
| Characteristics | Migration means moving your overall database from one platform to another. DRS also supports incremental migration, which ensures service continuity while minimizing the impact of service downtime and migration. Databases can thereby be smoothly migrated to the cloud, and all database objects can be migrated. | Synchronization refers to the continuous flow of data between different services. Data synchronization focuses on tables and data. It can meet various requirements, such as many-to-one, one-to-many synchronization, dynamic addition and deletion of tables, and synchronization between tables with different names. |
