We are pleased to announce that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) GoldenGate will join Oracle Exadata and Oracle Autonomous Database as part of the Oracle Database@Google Cloud partnership, allowing customers to provision a managed OCI GoldenGate service from within the Google Cloud console.
Figure 1: OCI GoldenGate on Oracle Database@Google Cloud Summary
OCI GoldenGate is a fully managed service and part of the Oracle GoldenGate product family, delivering real-time trusted information across Oracle and non-Oracle data stores. For over 20 years, the GoldenGate platform has exceled low impact, change data capture (CDC), transactional data replication, high-speed data ingestion, data pipelines for continuous transformation and loading (CTL), and a wide variety of analytics on streaming data. With trusted, real-time, fault tolerant data replication, the data replicated by GoldenGate is continuously available ‘as-it-happens’ enabling better decisions, responsive applications, and more flexible architectures.
OCI GoldenGate is the cornerstone of data movement needed to create data fabrics and mesh architectures. OCI GoldenGate can be used to offload reporting to secondary systems to reduce the overhead of ad-hoc reporting on and/or ETL from, production OLTP databases, to increase database scalability and availability through active-active replications, and to reduce downtime for planned and unplanned database events.
Figure 2: GoldenGate’s diverse use cases
OCI GoldenGate in Oracle Database@Google Cloud will have feature parity with OCI GoldenGate running natively in OCI, and will have the same connectors for hundreds of data sources and targets including Google Cloud native services, and 3rd party software running on Google Cloud.
As part of this partnership, we plan on certifying GoldenGate with Google Cloud Spanner for both capture and delivery, and augmenting GoldenGate’s existing delivery to Google BigQuery with the ability to capture from it.
Figure 3: GoldenGate integration with Google Cloud native services
OCI GoldenGate is seamlessly integrated with on-premises Oracle GoldenGate environments for hybrid deployments to replicate between on-premises environments and the cloud. OCI GoldenGate in Google Cloud will also connect with GoldenGate running in Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and in the Oracle Cloud for replication across cloud vendors enabling multi-cloud architectures.
Figure 4: Overview of GoldenGate’s comprehensive connections
Many Google Cloud customers already use OCI GoldenGate for low-impact, optimized capture from any source database, but especially those from Oracle. In conjunction with real-time/transactional feeds to Google Cloud based targets, the planned availability of OCI GoldenGate as part of Oracle Database@Google Cloud will enable even more integrated, high performance and real-time workloads, spanning OCI and Google Cloud for OLTP and analytics systems.
