TiDB to Neon Integration
AI-first ETL from TiDB into Neon. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads TiDB into Neon
Datrise syncs TiDB's tables, rows, schemas, indexes, regions, and TiCDC change events into Neon as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in jsonb columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as timestamptz.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional declarative partitioning by load date. Neon separates compute from storage, so Datrise batches writes to keep autoscaling compute from cold-starting on every small change.
Ideal for serverless Postgres workloads that scale to zero between syncs.
Endpoints
TiDB: MySQL-compatible HTAP database with row and column stores.
Neon: Serverless Postgres destination with branching and autoscaling.
How TiDB entities map to Neon
| TiDB entity | Neon object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| tables | tidb_tables | id PK · custom fields → jsonb columns |
| rows | tidb_rows | id PK · linked to tidb_tables |
| schemas | tidb_schemas | id PK · linked to tidb_tables |
| indexes | tidb_indexes | id PK · linked to tidb_tables |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle TiDB's custom fields in Neon?
Flexible values are stored as jsonb columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Neon types.
How does the TiDB to Neon sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
