Automated database replication at a remote deployment

1. A method comprising:

storing, at a remote deployment of a data platform, a set of replication-preparation objects, the set of replication-preparation objects including a set of operations for replicating a database stored at a primary deployment of the data platform;

detecting, by a processor, using a task object of the set of replication-preparation objects a request for availability of a local instance of the database at the remote deployment of the data platform; and

in response to the detecting the request, executing, by the processor, the set of operations included in the set of replication-preparation objects to replicate the database as the local instance at the remote deployment, wherein the set of replication-preparation objects includes a database shell of the database stored at the primary deployment of the data platform, wherein the executing the set of operations comprises: invoking a database-refresh operation causing database data to be pushed from the database stored at primary deployment to the database shell at the remote deployment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is received at the remote deployment of the data platform.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising: monitoring the remote deployment for requests to replicate the database.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the database data being pushed to the database shell at the remote deployment modifies the database shell into a remote-deployment database at the remote deployment.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the set of replication-preparation objects includes a share shell that is configured as an access control with respect to the remote-deployment database.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein executing the set of operations further comprises: invoking a share-refresh operation that provides a data consumer with access to the remote-deployment database at the remote deployment.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein invoking a share-refresh operation initiates share data to be pushed from a primary-deployment share to the share shell, the share data modifying the share shell into a remote-deployment share at the remote deployment.

8. A data platform comprising:

one or more computer processors; and one or more computer-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the data platform to perform operations comprising:

storing, at a remote deployment of a data platform, a set of replication-preparation objects, the set of replication-preparation objects including a set of operations for replicating a database stored at a primary deployment of the data platform;

detecting using a task object of the set of replication-preparation objects, a request for availability of a local instance of the database at the remote deployment of the data platform; and

in response to the detecting the request, executing the set of operations included in the set of replication-preparation objects to replicate the database as the local instance at the remote deployment, wherein the set of replication-preparation objects includes a database shell of the database stored at the primary deployment of the data platform, wherein the executing the set of operations comprises: invoking a database-refresh operation causing database data to be pushed from the database stored at primary deployment to the database shell at the remote deployment.

9. The data platform of claim 8 , wherein the request is received at the remote deployment of the data platform.

10. The data platform of claim 9 , the operations further comprising: monitoring the remote deployment for requests to replicate the database.

11. The data platform of claim 8 , wherein the database data being pushed to the database shell at the remote deployment modifies the database shell into a remote-deployment database at the remote deployment.

12. The data platform of claim 11 , wherein the set of replication-preparation objects includes a share shell that is configured as an access control with respect to the remote-deployment database.

13. The data platform of claim 12 , wherein executing the set of operations further comprises: invoking a share-refresh operation that provides a data consumer with access to the remote-deployment database at the remote deployment.

14. The data platform of claim 13 , wherein invoking a share-refresh operation initiates share data to be pushed from a primary-deployment share to the share shell, the share data modifying the share shell into a remote-deployment share at the remote deployment.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a data platform, cause the data platform to perform operations comprising:

storing, at a remote deployment of a data platform, a set of replication-preparation objects, the set of replication-preparation objects including a set of operations for replicating a database stored at a primary deployment of the data platform;

detecting using a task object of the set of replication-preparation objects, a request for availability of a local instance of the database at the remote deployment of the data platform; and

in response to the detecting the request, executing the set of operations included in the set of replication-preparation objects to replicate the database as the local instance at the remote deployment, wherein the set of replication-preparation objects includes a database shell of the database stored at the primary deployment of the data platform, wherein the executing the set of operations comprises: invoking a database-refresh operation causing database data to be pushed from the database stored at primary deployment to the database shell at the remote deployment.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the request is received at the remote deployment of the data platform.
