What service(s) is this request for?

Heroku Streaming Data Connector

Tell us about what you're trying to solve. What challenges are you facing?

We were hoping to use Heroku's Streaming Data Connector service to maintain a separate copy of a database. Our use case requires a full copy of the database, but the Data Connector service unfortunately does not have a way to snapshot existing data.

How hard would it be for Heroku's Streaming Data Connector service to support taking an initial snapshot before streaming new data?
