Life cycle management for standby databases

An apparatus for data management, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
• mount, to a second database on a second server, a snapshot, wherein, once mounted, the snapshot is representative of a state of a first database on a first server;
• enable synchronization between the first database on the first server and the second database on the second server based at least in part on mounting the snapshot;
• display one or more metrics associated with replication of data between the first database and the second database, wherein the one or more metrics correspond to a timing associated with replication of data between the first database and the second database, a mode of replication of data between the first database and the second database, or both;
• receive, based at least in part on displaying the one or more metrics, an input indicating for a log-synchronization between the first database and the second database;
• process transaction log files stored at the first database and associated with transactions performed, prior to receipt of the input, at the first database;
• mount, to the second server and based at least in part on the input, the transaction log files;
• and
• apply, to the second database, one or more transactions based at least in part on the transaction log files mounted to the second server.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for data management, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• mount, to a second database on a second server, a snapshot, wherein, once mounted, the snapshot is representative of a state of a first database on a first server;
• enable synchronization between the first database on the first server and the second database on the second server based at least in part on mounting the snapshot;
• display one or more metrics associated with replication of data between the first database and the second database, wherein the one or more metrics correspond to a timing associated with replication of data between the first database and the second database, a mode of replication of data between the first database and the second database, or both;
• receive, based at least in part on displaying the one or more metrics, an input indicating for a log-synchronization between the first database and the second database;
• process transaction log files stored at the first database and associated with transactions performed, prior to receipt of the input, at the first database;
• mount, to the second server and based at least in part on the input, the transaction log files;
• and
• apply, to the second database, one or more transactions based at least in part on the transaction log files mounted to the second server.
