OLake Go

OLake Go is a high-performance, open-source data ingestion engine for replicating databases, S3, and Kafka into Apache Iceberg (or plain Parquet).

Built for scalable, real-time pipelines, OLake Go provides a simple web UI and CLI - used to ingest into vendor-lock-in free Iceberg tables supporting all the query-engines/warehouses.

OLake Go — Super-fast Sync to Apache Iceberg

OLake Go supports replication from transactional databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, DB2, and MSSQL, event-streaming systems like Apache Kafka and Object-store like S3, into open data lakehouse formats such as Apache Iceberg or Plain Parquet — delivering blazing-fast performance with minimal infrastructure cost.

🚀 Why OLake Go?

• 🧠 Smart sync: Full + CDC replication with automatic schema discovery & schema evolution
• ⚡ High throughput: 580K RPS (Postgres) & 338K RPS (MySQL)
• ➡️ Exactly once delivery & Arrow writes: Accuracy with speed.
• 💾 Iceberg-native: Supports Glue, Hive, JDBC, REST catalogs
• 🖥️ Self-serve UI: Deploy via Docker Compose and sync in minutes
• 💸 Infra-light: No Spark, no Flink, no Kafka, no Debezium

🧪 Quickstart (UI + Docker)

OLake UI is a web-based interface for managing OLake Go jobs, sources, destinations and configurations. You can run the entire OLake Go stack (UI, Backend, and all dependencies) using Docker Compose. This is the recommended way to get started. Run the UI, connect your source DB, and start syncing in minutes.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datazip-inc/olake-ui/master/docker-compose.yml | docker compose -f - up -d

Access the UI: - OLake UI: http://localhost:8000 - Log in with default credentials: admin / password

Detailed getting started using OLake UI can be found here.

Creating Your First Job

With the UI running, you can create a data pipeline in a few steps:

1. Configure Source: Navigate to Source tab and click Create Source. Set up your source connection.
2. Configure Destination: Navigate to Destination tab and click Create Destination. Set up your destination.
3. Create a Job: Navigate to the Jobs tab and click Create Job.
4. Configure & Run: Give your job a name, set a schedule, select your source and destination and click Next to finish.
5. Select Streams: Choose which tables to sync and configure their sync mode (CDC, Full Refresh or Incremental).

For a detailed walkthrough, refer to the Jobs documentation.

🛠️ CLI Usage (Advanced)

For advanced users and automation, OLake Go's core logic is exposed via a powerful CLI. The core framework handles state management, configuration validation, logging, and type detection. It interacts with drivers using four main commands:

• spec: Returns a render-able JSON Schema for a connector's configuration.
• check: Validates connection configurations for sources and destinations.
• discover: Returns all available streams (e.g., tables) and their schemas from a source.
• sync: Executes the data replication job, extracting from the source and writing to the destination.
• clear-destination : Clears data in the destination, only for the selected streams defined in streams.json.
