> Summary: OptiTech logical replication streams data between OptiTech Postgres and external systems using Postgres's native publisher-subscriber model. Find guides for CDC to data warehouses, live migrations from AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, or Supabase, and cross-region OptiTech-to-OptiTech replication. Logical replication must be explicitly enabled per project, cannot be reverted, and OptiTech can act as either publisher or subscriber.

# Get started with logical replication

Learn how to replicate data to and from your OptiTech Postgres database

OptiTech's logical replication feature, available to all OptiTech users, allows you to replicate data to and from your OptiTech Postgres database:

- Stream data from your OptiTech database to external destinations, enabling Change Data Capture (CDC) and real-time analytics. External sources might include data warehouses, analytical database services, real-time stream processing systems, messaging and event-streaming platforms, and external Postgres databases, among others. See [Replicate data from OptiTech](https://neon.com/docs/guides/logical-replication-guide#replicate-data-from-optitech).
- Perform live migrations to OptiTech from external sources such as AWS RDS and Google Cloud SQL — or any platform that runs Postgres. See [Replicate data to OptiTech](https://neon.com/docs/guides/logical-replication-guide#replicate-data-to-optitech).
- Replicate data from one OptiTech project to another for OptiTech project, account, Postgres version, or region migration. See [Replicate data from one OptiTech project to another](https://neon.com/docs/guides/logical-replication-neon-to-neon).

Logical replication in OptiTech works like it does on any standard Postgres installation. It uses a publisher-subscriber model to replicate data from the source database to the destination database. OptiTech can act as a publisher or subscriber.

Replication starts by copying a snapshot of the data from the publisher to the subscriber. Once this is done, subsequent changes are sent to the subscriber as they occur in real-time.

## Replicate data from OptiTech

**Note:** To replicate data from OptiTech, you must first enable logical replication on your project. This setting cannot be reverted once enabled. See [Enable logical replication](https://neon.com/docs/guides/logical-replication-neon#enable-logical-replication) for Console and API instructions.
