IRI Ripcurrent review
A focused choice for log-based CDC, masking, and replication across four databases.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
IRI Ripcurrent is a real-time change data capture module within the IRI Voracity data management platform. It is designed for database administrators, data engineers, developers, and organizations managing test, lower-environment, or operational data replicas. The product monitors database logs, detects inserts, updates, deletes, and schema changes, then replicates changed data into defined target tables. It runs on Windows and Linux and supports hybrid deployment. Its core focus is traditional database replication with filtering, transformation, schema monitoring, and optional masking rather than broad destination coverage.
For teams that need controlled replication, Ripcurrent combines regular-expression filtering for schemas and tables with graphical configuration through IRI Workbench. Optional IRI FieldShield masking can be applied during replication, which suits workflows where operational or production data must be prepared for test or lower environments. Schema drift can be logged and trigger alerts, while resume-after-downtime support helps continue processing after an interruption. Integrations include Debezium, IRI Workbench, IRI FieldShield, and IRI Voracity.
The supported databases are MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle, with replication of inserts, updates, and deletes in one direction. Licensing is handled through sales and is based on the host or monitored database. Ripcurrent is a sensible fit for organizations already working with the IRI platform or needing CDC with masking and schema awareness across those databases. Buyers needing bidirectional replication or support beyond this database set should consider a product with a broader replication scope.
