How do I replicate PostgreSQL data to Amazon S3?

Sign up for Weld, connect PostgreSQL as a source and Amazon S3 as a destination. Weld handles the extraction, loading, and lets you transform data using SQL or dbt.

What PostgreSQL data can I replicate to Amazon S3?

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

How often does Weld replicate data from PostgreSQL?

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 PostgreSQL data before it lands in Amazon S3?

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 PostgreSQL to Amazon S3 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 PostgreSQL to Amazon S3?
Ready for analysis.

Centralizing your PostgreSQL data in Amazon S3 lets you join it with other data sources for cross-platform analytics and deeper insights.

Build reliable dashboards and reports by querying PostgreSQL data directly in Amazon S3 using SQL or your preferred BI tool.

Consolidate data from PostgreSQL alongside other databases and applications in a single cloud data warehouse for a unified analytical layer.

Database replication for analytics
Replicate your PostgreSQL production data to Amazon S3 without impacting database performance. Query historical data without load on your primary database.
Centralized data warehouse
Bring PostgreSQL data into Amazon S3 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 PostgreSQL to Amazon S3. Connect BI tools like Looker, Metabase, or Power BI.

Data

What data can you replicate?
From PostgreSQL to Amazon S3.

Weld syncs the objects the PostgreSQL connector exposes into Amazon S3, 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 Amazon S3 for you.

Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or your own agent to Weld over MCP. It reads the PostgreSQL context, finds the tables it needs and runs the query in Amazon S3.

Under the hood

Technical considerations.
What to expect.

Incremental syncing: Weld uses incremental syncing where supported by the PostgreSQL API, loading only new and updated records to minimize data transfer and warehouse costs.
Change data capture: For PostgreSQL, 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 PostgreSQL adds new fields, they're detected and added to the corresponding Amazon S3 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.
