YOUR DATA FOUNDATION

Every source into AWS RDS for MariaDB, clean and current

Connect 400+ sources and keep AWS RDS for MariaDB continuously fed with clean, governed data - no pipelines to build, and no bad or broken data slipping through.

400+ managed connectors

Marketing, sales, finance, product, and ad platforms - plus other databases and flat files - all maintained for you.

ETL, ELT, CDC, streaming

Load AWS RDS for MariaDB however the workload demands - batch ETL or ELT, real-time CDC from your source databases, or continuous event streaming. One platform, every transport pattern.

Write modes that hit SLAs

Insert, upsert, truncate-insert, or delete - pick the write mode per table. Incremental loads and fast, reliable delivery keep AWS RDS for MariaDB current and meet your data SLAs.

Clean, safe, ready to serve

Blend and reshape sources, then let the Data Quality Firewall stop bad records and automatic PII detection mask sensitive fields - so only trustworthy data lands in AWS RDS for MariaDB.

Schema-drift handling

When a source changes its fields, Dataddo adapts the pipeline and alerts you instead of breaking the load into AWS RDS for MariaDB.

Proactive monitoring

Data-quality checks and delivery alerts catch gaps before they reach AWS RDS for MariaDB or the applications it powers.

WITH VS. WITHOUT

Who carries the load when things change upstream

Keep the same sources flowing into AWS RDS for MariaDB - and see who owns it when an API, schema, or endpoint changes:

Without Dataddo With Dataddo Outcome for you
API or auth change You discover the breakage and scramble to fix it. We update the connector and restore the pipeline - often before you notice. Pipelines to AWS RDS for MariaDB keep flowing
Schema drift Columns change and pipelines break or corrupt data silently. Detected automatically and handled by configurable rules. Only clean data lands in AWS RDS for MariaDB
Endpoint deprecated You re-engineer the integration. We own the update - the data contract holds. Your AWS RDS for MariaDB loads keep working
Missing connector You build and maintain a custom integration. We build it and maintain it, under a ~4-week SLA. Any source can reach AWS RDS for MariaDB
Silent degradation You find out when a report or model run fails. Proactive monitoring catches anomalies and delays first. Issues caught before AWS RDS for MariaDB consumers break
Debugging You dig through logs across disconnected tools. Run histories, payload inspection, and end-to-end lineage in one place. Faster root-cause, less downtime
Data residency by design

Choose where AWS RDS for MariaDB is loaded - cloud, sovereign, or on-prem

Loading an operational database means moving your most sensitive data. With Dataddo you decide where the data plane runs per workload - fully in the cloud, in a regional or sovereign cloud, or on-premises inside your own perimeter. The control plane orchestrates every option the same way, through metadata only, so AWS RDS for MariaDB stays wherever compliance and latency require.

Data Plane location Typical data sensitivity Why this setup

Public cloud

AWS Microsoft Azure Google Cloud
Low to moderate - general business, marketing, and product data; sources that are already cloud-native. Fastest to stand up and scales elastically. Best when the data has no residency restriction and often already lives in the same public cloud.

Regional & EU sovereign clouds

EU sovereign clouds Regional providers Private cloud
Regulated / residency-bound - PII, financial, and health data governed by GDPR or local law. Keeps processing inside a specific jurisdiction to meet data-residency and sovereignty rules, while still running as managed infrastructure.

On-premises

Kubernetes Red Hat OpenShift VMware Tanzu
Highly sensitive / restricted - data that contractually or legally cannot leave the corporate perimeter. Data never leaves your network. Required for air-gapped, classified, or locked-down environments; the Control Plane still manages it via metadata only.
DATA TRANSPORT

Every way to move data into and out of AWS RDS for MariaDB

The delivery pattern changes, the platform does not. Load AWS RDS for MariaDB by scheduled batch or in real time, replicate other databases into it, and activate its data back out - all governed the same way.

Transport type What it does Typical connectors Typical business use cases
ETL & ELT Classic extract-transform-load, or load-first with in-warehouse transformation.

FAQ

AWS RDS for MariaDB + Dataddo, answered

What can I load into AWS RDS for MariaDB?

Any of Dataddo's 400+ sources - marketing and ad platforms, CRMs, finance tools, other databases, and flat files - plus custom sources on request. Data is blended and cleansed before it lands in AWS RDS for MariaDB.

Do I have to maintain the pipelines?

No. Dataddo is fully managed: we maintain the connectors, adapt to source schema changes, and alert you if anything needs attention. Run it fully in the cloud with nothing to operate, or self-host the data plane as a lightweight agent - either way there is no pipeline code for you to maintain.

How does Dataddo connect to AWS RDS for MariaDB?

With a database user (username and password), the server host and port (default 3306), and the target database. TLS defaults to PREFERRED, with a SKIP VERIFY option for self-signed certificates, and an SSH tunnel is available.

What does Dataddo need to write to AWS RDS for MariaDB?

A user with rights to create tables and to insert, update and delete rows in the target database. The instance must be reachable by Dataddo; whitelist the Dataddo IP ranges if a firewall is in place. Missing tables are created on the first write.

Can Dataddo update rows in AWS RDS for MariaDB or only append?

Seven write modes are available; all except insert and truncate_insert use a composite key of up to four columns. Table names may contain letters, numbers, underscores or dollar signs, and date tokens such as {{1d1}} are supported.

Can I sync data both into and out of AWS RDS for MariaDB?

Yes. Dataddo loads AWS RDS for MariaDB from 400+ sources and also does reverse ETL - pushing modeled data from your warehouse or other systems back into AWS RDS for MariaDB, and from AWS RDS for MariaDB into CRMs, ad platforms, and operational apps.

How is my data secured?

Dataddo is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, PII can be masked or hashed, and if you run the data plane on-premises, payload data never leaves your network. EU or US data residency is available.

Will this add load to AWS RDS for MariaDB?

Incremental loads write only new or changed rows, and you control the schedule - so you move only the data you actually need and keep write load on AWS RDS for MariaDB predictable.

Am I locked in?

No. Data lands in native AWS RDS for MariaDB tables you own, and pipelines are database-agnostic - you can add or switch databases and destinations without rebuilding your sources.
