How do I replicate MySQL data to Apache Iceberg?

Sign up for Weld, connect MySQL as a source and Apache Iceberg as a destination. Weld handles the extraction, loading, and lets you transform data using SQL or dbt.

What MySQL data can I replicate to Apache Iceberg?

You can replicate the objects the MySQL connector exposes. The available objects depend on your MySQL account permissions and configuration.

How often does Weld replicate data from MySQL?

Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Schedules range from every 5 minutes to daily intervals. Each sync processes only new and changed data.

Can I transform MySQL data before it lands in Apache Iceberg?

Yes. Weld supports SQL-based transformations in the platform and integrates with dbt Cloud. You can clean, join, and model your data before analysis.

Is the MySQL to Apache Iceberg integration secure?

Yes. Weld encrypts all data in transit and at rest, is SOC 2 Type II certified, and supports IP whitelisting. Credentials are stored encrypted and never logged.

Use cases

Why replicate MySQL to Apache Iceberg?
Ready for analysis.

Centralizing your MySQL data in Apache Iceberg lets you join it with other data sources for cross-platform analytics and deeper insights.

Build reliable dashboards and reports by querying MySQL data directly in Apache Iceberg using SQL or your preferred BI tool.

Consolidate data from MySQL alongside other databases and applications in a single database for a unified analytical layer.

Database replication for analytics
Replicate your MySQL production data to Apache Iceberg without impacting database performance. Query historical data without load on your primary database.
Centralized data warehouse
Bring MySQL data into Apache Iceberg alongside other sources to create a single source of truth for your organization.
Automated reporting
Replace manual exports and spreadsheet-based reporting with automated pipelines from MySQL to Apache Iceberg. Connect BI tools like Looker, Metabase, or Power BI.

Data

What data can you replicate?
From MySQL to Apache Iceberg.

Weld syncs the objects the MySQL connector exposes into Apache Iceberg, and you choose which tables and fields to include. The connector's docs list what is available.

Weld MCP server

Ask your agent.
It queries Apache Iceberg for you.

Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or your own agent to Weld over MCP. It reads the MySQL context, finds the tables it needs and runs the query in Apache Iceberg.

Under the hood

Technical considerations.
What to expect.

Incremental syncing: Weld uses incremental syncing where supported by the MySQL API, loading only new and updated records to minimize data transfer and warehouse costs.
Change data capture: For MySQL, Weld can use log-based replication (CDC) to capture inserts, updates, and deletes without querying the entire table on every sync.
Schema handling: Weld automatically manages schema changes. If MySQL adds new fields, they're detected and added to the corresponding Apache Iceberg tables.
Data freshness: Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Most connectors support schedules from every 5 minutes up to daily intervals.
Security: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Weld is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports IP whitelisting for database connections.
