sling-replications

Data replications between databases are configured by creating a YAML file that defines source, target, defaults, streams, and env fields, then parsing and running it via the Sling CLI. This YAML-based approach replaces bespoke integration code.

A replication YAML is a configuration file that defines data movement from a source to a target system. You need it when setting up data synchronization, copying tables, or moving data between databases and files without writing custom ETL code.

Yes, Sling replications support moving data between databases and files. The replication YAML configuration allows you to define source and target systems, set stream-level behavior, and use environment controls to tailor data movement per workload.

Stream-level configuration for ETL workflows is set up by using the streams field in your replication YAML. This allows you to tailor synchronization behavior per workload alongside global defaults and environment variables.

The best way to automate data movement without custom code is by defining replication YAMLs that specify source, target, and streams. You then use MCP operations like parse and run through the Sling CLI to deploy and monitor the data synchronization.

Yes, Sling supports environment controls through the env field in replication YAML configurations. This allows you to manage environment-specific settings and tailor data movement behavior across different workload contexts.
