About:
KitchenSync is a high-performance database synchronization tool that compares and syncs data between databases without requiring full dumps and reloads. It intelligently identifies differences and transfers only the changed data, significantly reducing sync time and resource usage. This makes it ideal for maintaining replicas or migrating data between heterogeneous database systems.
Key Features:
  • Incremental data synchronization without full dumps
  • Supports multiple database engines including MySQL and PostgreSQL
  • High-performance with minimal resource overhead
  • Bidirectional sync capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining up-to-date read replicas for load balancing
  • Migrating data between different database systems
  • Continuous data synchronization between development and production environments
Alternatives:
  • pt-table-sync – Part of Percona Toolkit, primarily focused on MySQL-to-MySQL synchronization
  • pg_dump/pg_restore – PostgreSQL native tools that require full dump and restore cycles
