Couple of possible suggestions, but there are also some gltiches that need attention. Otherwise, looking great so far :-)

Only the following are supported at this time:

- One source database connected to one target database

I would go with these limitations in this order:

  • Redis Cloud Pro tier
  • Ingest use case
  • AWS platform (source and target database)
  • One source database connected to one target database

Using RDI with Redis Cloud simplifies managing your data integration pipeline. No need to worry about hardware or underlying infrastructure, as Redis Cloud manages that for you. Creating the data flow from source to target is much easier, and there are validations in place to reduce errors.

typically in cloud service, you don't explain about the architecture too much but more about the functionality. I think in this case what matters to the user:

  • The fact that it can start with "backfill" process taking a baseline snapshot of the desired data
  • then move automatically to track the changes for this dataset
  • guaranteed to deliver at least once each record unless the RDI database crushed (and then can go back to baseline)
  • can transform relational database rows to Hash or JSON in Redis

I'm pretty sure I cover the "backfill" process by using the term "ingest" and the "tracking changes" by talking about "change streaming" - are these meaningfully different terms?

To create a new data pipeline, you need to:

1. [Prepare your source database]({{<relref "/operate/rc/databases/rdi/setup">}}) and any associated credentials.

Yes, that page also includes PrivateLink and creating the credentials secret.

At this point, Redis Cloud will attempt to create your new pipeline.

Pipelines are created in the background. While they're being created, you aren't allowed to make changes. This process will take some time.

That's all covered in the Define data pipeline page. If we move it here, this page risks getting too long.

That's covered in this section. I thought "credentials" in the header would include certificates without making the header too long.

A few minor things (broken link does need fixing, though) but otherwise looking really good :-)

Select **Add schema** to add additional database schemas.

Select **Delete** to delete a schema. You must have at least one schema to continue.

After you've selected the schemas and tables you want to sync, select **Continue**.

Is this intended to be a sublist (bulletted)? I definitely think it should be because the formatting currently looks a bit odd without it.

I think this will be a lot easier to parse once I add screenshots.

Basically, yes. I need to go through the mockups again.


1. In the [Redis Cloud console](https://cloud.redis.io/), go to your target database and select the **Data Pipeline** tab.
1. Select **Create data pipeline**.
1. Select your source database type. The following database types are supported:

You also mention MariaDB and Aurora in the intro page. AFAIK, MariaDB is basically the same as MySQL, so I generally write MySQL/MariaDB together. Is Aurora specific to cloud RDI, with it being an Amazon product? Also, if we do support Aurora for this then do we need some extra instructions for it in the Prepare Source Databases section?

@yaronp68 - Can you elaborate more on the Aurora inclusion? Is it the same as mySQL/mariaDB, or do we need to add more information as Andy said?

One place where a link might not be right but otherwise looks good. I think there are still screenshots and other stuff still to add, so possibly too early to give final approval for the PR.

"Add additional" looks a bit odd together, but maybe it's just me :-)

I'd either change this to "...to view and edit your data pipeline" or rewrite the line below to say that you can edit the pipeline from this tab.
