Slimdump
A configurable MySQL database dumping tool for creating partial dumps, masking sensitive data, and handling large datasets.
What is Slimdump?
slimdump is a command-line tool for creating configurable dumps of large MySQL databases. It solves the problem of exporting only relevant parts of production databases while masking or replacing sensitive data like personal information. Unlike generic dump tools, it uses XML configuration files to define exactly what to export, making dumps reproducible and secure.
Developers and DevOps engineers working with MySQL databases who need to create partial, anonymized, or reproducible dumps for debugging, testing, or data analysis without exposing sensitive information.
Developers choose slimdump for its fine-grained control over database exports via configuration files, built-in data masking for GDPR compliance, and ability to handle large datasets efficiently. It fills the gap between mysqldump's limited configurability and manual scripting, offering a shareable, automated solution for secure data extraction.
