Replicating a database at a remote deployment

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for database replication to a remote deployment with automated fulfillment. In an embodiment, a data platform detects receipt of a database-replication request associated with a data consumer, requesting availability of a local instance of a primary-deployment database in a remote-deployment account of a data provider at a remote deployment of the data platform. The data platform responsively performs remote-deployment-activation operations including provisioning the remote-deployment account with a set of one or more replication-preparation objects associated with the primary-deployment database, and also including invoking at least one refresh command with respect to the set of one or more replication-preparation objects, which makes available to the data consumer a local instance of the primary-deployment database in the remote-deployment account of the data provider at the remote deployment of the data platform.
