NineData Community Edition

Self-hosted platform for database change management, data replication, and database comparison.

中文文档 | English Documentation

NineData Community Edition is built for teams that need to manage databases and data movement inside their own environment. It combines database change workflows, replication tasks, and consistency verification in one workspace, without requiring a connection to NineData cloud services.

Why Teams Use NineData

• Self-hosted by default. Run NineData in a private network or controlled environment and keep operations, metadata, and access paths under your own control.
• More than a SQL workflow tool. NineData combines database change management, data replication, and post-migration validation in one product.
• Designed for mixed data stacks. Manage relational databases together with analytical engines, search systems, message queues, graph databases, and time-series platforms.
• Practical for engineering and DBA collaboration. Use approvals, review rules, audits, and visual task management instead of assembling multiple point tools.

Three Product Areas

Database Change Management

• Centralized data source management and database access
• SQL review policies and approval workflows
• Controlled schema and data changes with audit trails
• Online DDL and DML operations for supported engines
• Query analysis, session management, and release orchestration

Data Replication

• Full and incremental replication for selected homogeneous and heterogeneous scenarios
• Visual task configuration, monitoring, throttling, pause, and resume
• Support for migration, synchronization, disaster recovery, and cross-environment delivery workflows

Database Comparison

• Compare database structures and data between source and target systems
• Identify inconsistencies after migration or ongoing replication
• Generate synchronization SQL when differences are detected

Typical Scenarios

• Standardize how development and DBA teams submit, review, approve, and execute database changes
• Migrate or synchronize data across environments, versions, regions, or heterogeneous systems
• Verify schema and data consistency after migration, synchronization, or upgrade activities
• Provide one operational console for mixed data infrastructure in internal or regulated environments

Deploy in Minutes

For a quick evaluation, start NineData with Docker:

docker run -p 9999:9999 \
  --privileged \
  -v /opt/ninedata:/u01 \
  --name ninedata \
  -d swr.cn-east-3.myhuaweicloud.com/ninedata/ninedata:latest

Alternative image:

docker run -p 9999:9999 \
  --privileged \
  -v /opt/ninedata:/u01 \
  --name ninedata \
  -d ninedata/ninedata:latest

After the container starts:

1. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes for initialization.
2. Open http://<your-host>:9999.
3. Sign in with the default account admin/admin.
4. Change the default password after the first login.
