Automated database replication using replication preparation objects
Techniques for database replication using replication preparation objects include storing, by at least one hardware processor, at least one task object at a remote deployment of a data provider. A replication request originating from an account of a data consumer is detected at the remote deployment using the at least one task object. The replication request is associated with a database available at a primary deployment of the data provider. Responsive to the detecting of the replication request, a local instance of the database is generated at the remote deployment. The account of the data consumer at the remote deployment is configured to access the local instance of the database.
1. A system comprising:
