Hightouch lets you pull data stored in MySQL and push it to downstream destinations. Most of the setup occurs in the Hightouch UI, but you need access to MySQL for information like your hostname, port, and credentials.
Hightouch unofficially supports backwards compatible MySQL forks such as TiDB by Pingcap.
You may need to allowlist Hightouch's IP addresses to let our systems connect to your MySQL instance. Reference our networking docs to determine which IP addresses you need to allowlist.
Hightouch supports using MariaDB as a source via the MySQL source. Follow the instructions below, substituting MySQL information and credentials with your MariaDB ones.
Hightouch can connect directly to MySQL over the public internet or via an SSH tunnel. Since data is encrypted in transit via TLS, a direct connection is suitable for most use cases. You may need to set up a tunnel if your MySQL instance is on a private network or virtual private cloud (VPC).
Hightouch supports both standard and reverse SSH tunnels. To learn more about SSH tunneling, refer to Hightouch's tunneling documentation.
When setting up MySQL as a source for the first time, Hightouch validates your credentials and access to your database. Once the test passes, click Continue to finish setup.
Once your source configuration has passed the necessary validation, you've completed setting up MySQL as a source. Next, you can set up models to define which data you want to pull from MySQL.
The connection test returns this error message if you don't enable SSL connections in your MySQL server configuration.
To solve this, make sure to configure MySQL to use encrypted connections.
