5. How MySQL Extraction Works
THL THL
Master Replicator:
Extractor
Slave Replicator:
Applier
THL = Events + Metadata
DBMS
logs
Download transactions via
network
Apply to Target
Extractor
Options
DBMS-specific Logging
(Binary Logs)
1 2
Option 1: Local Install
Extractor reads directly from
the logs, even when the DBMS
service is down. This is the
default.
Option 2: Remote
Extractor gets log data via
MySQL Replication Slave
protocols (which requires the
DBMS service to be online)
This is how we handle
Amazon Aurora extraction
tasks.
