Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If ETL tools are developed separately for each data center, then data synchronization can be achieved between isolated data centers, but development time is wasted and development efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal ETL tool platform that can synchronize data across multiple isolated data centers through a unified interface. The system uses standardized data source configurations and template-based task management that can be applied across different data centers without requiring separate custom developments for each one, thereby reducing redundant development time while maintaining synchronization reliability
2Reliability
If ETL tools are developed separately for each data center, then data synchronization can be achieved, but development cycles are prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary configuration of data sources and synchronization templates in advance. Data source connections, authentication methods, and synchronization rules are pre-configured and stored as reusable templates. When deploying to new data centers, these pre-configured templates can be quickly instantiated and adapted, significantly shortening the development cycle while ensuring consistent synchronization capabilities across all data centers
3Reliability
If repeated development is performed for different data centers, then data synchronization can be achieved, but development efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a template copying mechanism where ETL task configurations, data source settings, and synchronization rules developed for one data center can be copied and reused across other data centers. The system provides template libraries with pre-defined synchronization tasks that can be replicated and customized for different data center scenarios, eliminating the need for repeated development work and significantly improving development efficiency while maintaining synchronization reliability

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for data synchronization, and a computer-readable storage medium. In the method, multiple data sources are connected in response to the operation of configuring data sources in the first interactive interface. Then, in response to the operation of creating a task in the second interactive interface, a task configuration file can be generated. Afterwards, in response to the operation of starting the data synchronization task in the third interactive interface, the to-be-synchronized data is synchronized from the source data source to the target data source. In this way, in the embodiments, data transmission between different data sources can be achieved through visual configuration operations, without the need for repeated development, and the configuration process is simple, which can reduce learning costs.
