Amazon Redshift has been providing scalable, quick-to-access analytics platforms for many years, but the question remains: how do you get the data from your existing datastore into Redshift for processing? This blog looks at that question by providing some background information on Redshift replication as well as details on how to easily replicate from MySQL to Redshift.

It’s Hadoop’s 15th birthday and we’re looking at how to easily replicate from MySQL to Hadoop and why in this blog on real-time big data analytics.

Real-Time MySQL Analytics: In this first in a series of blog posts on real-time data replication from MySQL, MariaDB or Percona Server to high-performance data analytics engines (and how to do so easily and cost-effectively with the Tungsten Replicator AMI), we’re focussing on Vertica replication.

What is the difference between MySQL replication and MySQL clustering? While clustering involves a layer of replication, the capabilities, benefits, and reasons for using clustering versus replication are very different.
