Context: my DBA has written scripts to delta load data from a Mysql slave we have of our main OLTP to our Postgres DWH staging DB. He's leaving and I want to find a more sustainable way to handle this.
So I was thinking of setting up a master-slave replication between both.
Some posts over the internet are covering this topic (database independent replicaton), but they all look obsolete and using solutions that are in arrested development.
The only viable option to us seems to be SymetricDS. Have you heard of this used in BI? Is it reasonable to get into this if you're not a dev? Is it a lot of maintenance? What about the perf?
