From Cosmos DB to /dev/null

Dsync is currently in beta and is undergoing active development and testing.

Step 1: Download dsync

Download the latest release from the GitHub Releases page. Note that on Mac devices you may need to configure a security exception to execute the binary by following these steps.

Alternatively, you can build dsync from the source code.

git clone https://github.com/adiom-data/dsync.git
cd dsync
go build

---

Step 2: Start dsync

# You can use our publicly accessible (read-only) Cosmos DB instance
export COSMOS_DEMO=$(echo bW9uZ29kYjovL2Nvc21vc2RiLWRlbW8taW5zdGFuY2U6SkhiRWpRb2JkWm03YWJEcFp2UzZrWHpBMDRXNTBJd2V4QmlQYnVJWFQ2TElmNkhsV2V4YWphQzhkd042REJ2YVh6ajBnclFrdkwzY0FDRGJONjdxZWc9PUBjb3Ntb3NkYi1kZW1vLWluc3RhbmNlLm1vbmdvLmNvc21vcy5henVyZS5jb206MTAyNTUvP3NzbD10cnVlJnJlcGxpY2FTZXQ9Z2xvYmFsZGImcmV0cnl3cml0ZXM9ZmFsc2UmbWF4SWRsZVRpbWVNUz0xMjAwMDAmYXBwTmFtZT1AY29zbW9zZGItZGVtby1pbnN0YW5jZUA= | base64 --decode)

# Use /dev/null as the destination
export DEST='/dev/null' 

./dsync --progress --logfile dsync.log $COSMOS_DEMO $DEST

Now dsync should be running! Feel free to interrupt the sync process (via Ctrl+C) it once the initial sync is done. The demo database has a few million records and the resources are shared - allow 5-10 minutes for the process to complete.
