Syniti Replicate Is End-of-Life. Here’s Your Path Forward.

Every version of Syniti Replicate, including the most recent release, reaches end of life in June 2026. Support ends. Updates stop. Security patches stop. If your replication infrastructure runs on Syniti Replicate (formerly DBMoto), the clock is ticking.

SymmetricDS is the proven, enterprise-grade replacement your team can migrate to without starting over.


What’s Happening with Syniti Replicate

In late 2025, Syniti announced the discontinuation of all Syniti Replicate versions. The EOL deadline is June 2026, including the most recent release. There is no successor product. Customers are on their own to find an alternative.

No Security Patches

After June 2026, security vulnerabilities go unpatched. Every month you stay on Syniti Replicate, your compliance posture degrades.

SymmetricDS receives regular security and feature updates. Your replication infrastructure stays current.

No Support Escalation

After June 2026, there are no support tickets, no escalation path, no hotfixes. When something breaks, you’re on your own.

SymmetricDS Pro includes JumpMind SLA-backed support. The team that built the product is the team answering your tickets.

No Connector Updates

New database versions, new cloud platforms, new drivers, etc., none of these will be supported after the EOL date. Your pipeline becomes a liability.

SymmetricDS supports 40+ database platforms and releases regular connector updates. It’s built to keep pace with your infrastructure.

Get Started

If your team is evaluating alternatives to Syniti Replicate, don’t wait until Q2 2026.

The evaluation, configuration, and parallel-run period takes time and the teams that start now will be fully migrated before the EOL deadline. The teams that wait will be scrambling.

Why SymmetricDS

SymmetricDS is open-source database replication and change data capture software with over 15 years of active development and deployment at enterprise scale. Unlike Syniti Replicate, it’s not owned by a systems integrator with other priorities, it’s built and maintained by Jumpmind, a team entirely focused on data replication.

It handles the same workloads Syniti Replicate handles: heterogeneous database replication, CDC, data transformation, and synchronization across distributed environments. And it does it without the vendor risk you just experienced.

What the Migration Actually Looks Like

Migrating from Syniti Replicate to SymmetricDS is not a rip-and-replace. The core concepts like replication groups, CDC configuration, transformation rules, conflict handling map directly. Most teams complete the migration in weeks, not months.

Typical migration path:

1
Inventory your replication jobs — Catalog every active replication pair, transformation rule, and scheduling configuration in Syniti Replicate. This is your migration checklist.
2
Stand up SymmetricDS in parallel — Install SymmetricDS alongside your existing Syniti Replicate setup. Run both simultaneously so there’s no need to take anything offline to start.
3
Map your configuration — Translate your Syniti Replicate replication sets to SymmetricDS channels, node groups, and triggers. The SymmetricDS data model is well-documented and intuitive if you’re already familiar with replication concepts.
4
Validate with compare and repair — Use SymmetricDS’s built-in compare and repair feature to confirm data parity between source and target across both systems. This is a step Syniti Replicate doesn’t easily support.
5
Cut over — Once validation passes, redirect your applications to the SymmetricDS-managed pipeline and decommission Syniti Replicate.

Most enterprise teams have completed full production cutover in 30–60 days.

Trusted at Enterprise Scale

SymmetricDS is deployed across thousands of nodes in retail, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and logistics. It was designed specifically for environments where data replication is mission-critical and failure isn’t an option, like distributed retail systems, remote edge deployments, real-time data warehousing, and zero-downtime database migrations.

It’s not a pivot from a systems integrator. Replication is the whole product.

 

SymmetricDS is developed and supported by Jumpmind, Inc. SymmetricDS Pro includes commercial licensing and support options for enterprise deployments.
