# GCP Datastream

> Start, pause, or resume Google Cloud Datastream streams from Paradime Bolt schedules and the CLI to coordinate CDC replication with your dbt job runs.

[Google Cloud Datastream](https://cloud.google.com/datastream) is a serverless change data capture and replication service. Trigger Datastream stream actions as part of your Paradime Bolt schedules using the Paradime CLI.

## What you can do

* Start, pause, or resume one or more Datastream streams by display name, optionally waiting for the state change to complete
* List all Datastream streams in a project and region

## Prerequisites

* `GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE`: path to a GCP service account JSON key file with permissions to manage and list Datastream streams
* `GCP_PROJECT_ID`: your GCP project ID
* `GCP_LOCATION`: GCP region (e.g. 'us-central1')

## Trigger from Bolt

Set your credentials as [environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables) on your Bolt schedule, then run the command as part of the schedule.

See the full command reference, flags, and examples in the [GCP Datastream CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/gcp-datastream-cli) documentation.
