The first data backup protocol based on db3 for mysql which has the following features

• replicate mysql to db3 in realtime
• recover from last synchronization progress stored in db3 after restarting db3cdc
• recover mysql from db3

Warning: Using DB3 and DB3 CDC in production enviroment is not recomended

when starting db3cdc for the first time, it will sync data from the begining of mysql binlog and submit mutation including the binlog events and the progress of synchronization. if you restart db3cdc, it will sync data from the last position that has been submited to db3

1. Download the release of db3 cdc from github according to your operation system, if you want run db3 cdc in linux

wget https://github.com/dbpunk-labs/db3cdc/releases/download/v0.2.0/db3cdc-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -zxf db3cdc-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd ./db3cdc-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64/
./bin/db3cdc --help
Usage: db3cdc <COMMAND>

Commands:
  sync     Start a interactive shell
  version  Get the version of DB3 CDC
  help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help information

2. use db3cdc to replicate mysql to db3

./bin/db3cdc sync --db3-node-grpc-url https://grpc.devnet.db3.network\
 --password mysql_password \
 --user mysql_root_user \
 --master-host mysql_host \
 --master-port mysql_port

the devnet is unstable, you can change the grpc url to the following nodes in our testnet

• ap-southeast node, grpc http://18.142.114.145:26659
• ap-east node, grpc http://18.162.230.6:26659
• us-east node, grpc http://18.117.125.43:26659
• eu-west node, grpc http://13.41.65.17:26659
