Endpoints in DoubleCloud Transfer

DoubleCloud Transfer provides a convenient way to transfer data between DBMSes, object stores, message brokers, and multi-cloud data warehouses. Using Transfer reduces your migration period and minimizes downtime when switching to a new database.

The Transfer service is configurable through the Transfer page in the console.

Endpoint is a tool that connects to a data source service or a target service - thus, source and target endpoints.

A source endpoint is your data fetcher. It will connect to a remote source and send the data to your DoubleCloud cluster.

A target endpoint is your receiver. It will get the data sent by the source endpoint and write it to the database in your DoubleCloud cluster.

The Transfer service connects your source and target endpoints. Transfers can be of different types depending on your endpoints selection and configuration.

In addition to connection settings, an endpoint may contain data selection options and information on how to process the data during the transfer.
