ApeDTS
A lightweight Rust binary for snapshot migration, change data capture, and data validation between MySQL, Postgres, Kafka, and analytical engines like ClickHouse, StarRocks, TiDB, and Doris.
ApeDTS is a standalone data migration and CDC engine built by ApeCloud. It ships as a single ~17 MB Rust binary with no external runtime components or intermediate storage, and is managed through dtscli, a local CLI for creating, listing, and stopping tasks.
It covers snapshot migration, continuous (CDC) sync, data validation/correction/review, and in-flight transformation via lightweight Lua scripts, with checkpoint-based recovery and Prometheus-compatible metrics for observability. Validated task paths include mysql -> mysql, mysql -> kafka, and mysql -> clickhouse / starrocks / doris / tidb, alongside equivalent Postgres, MongoDB, and Redis paths. The project is released under the GNU AGPL v3 license.
