A step-by-step guide to automating daily incremental data synchronization using Apache SeaTunnel as the data integration engine and Apache DolphinScheduler as the workflow orchestrator. The tutorial covers installing the SeaTunnel plugin in DolphinScheduler, configuring environment variables, creating a scheduled workflow with a dynamic date parameter that filters yesterday's records from MySQL, and writing the SeaTunnel JDBC source/sink configuration. The result is a fully automated pipeline with built-in scheduling, execution history, retry mechanisms, and centralized monitoring — eliminating manual cron-based sync scripts.
