Get started with logical replication

Neon's logical replication feature, available to all Neon users, allows you to replicate data to and from your Lakebase Postgres database:

• Stream data from your Neon database to external destinations, enabling Change Data Capture (CDC) and real-time analytics. External sources might include data warehouses, analytical database services, real-time stream processing systems, messaging and event-streaming platforms, and external Postgres databases, among others. See Replicate data from Neon.
• Perform live migrations to Neon from external sources such as AWS RDS and Google Cloud SQL — or any platform that runs Postgres. See Replicate data to Neon.
• Replicate data from one Neon project to another for Neon project, account, Postgres version, or region migration. See Replicate data from one Neon project to another.

Logical replication in Neon works like it does on any standard Postgres installation. It uses a publisher-subscriber model to replicate data from the source database to the destination database. Neon can act as a publisher or subscriber.

Replication starts by copying a snapshot of the data from the publisher to the subscriber. Once this is done, subsequent changes are sent to the subscriber as they occur in real-time.
