Introduction

The Rapid Fire Open Source Project delivers a high quality and reliable solution for copying data while production is active.

Do you have files with millions or even billions of records? Imagine you have to change such a file e.g. a new field has to be added. Possibly you have the time to install this change at the weekend. But what if your shop works 24 hours a day and 7 days a week? In this case it is absolutely necessary to reduce the time needed for the installation to avoid a long shutdown of the system.

This is the point Rapid Fire comes in. With Rapid Fire it is possible to reduce the downtime of your system to a minimum. Instead of shutting down the system for hours or even days you can reduce this with Rapid Fire to minutes.

Rapid Fire features are driven from our ideas and needs, but everybody is encouraged to contribute suggestions and manpower to improve the power of Rapid Fire.
