Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to selectively synchronize database objects. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a request to synchronize records that include a corresponding root record and one or more connected records from a first database instance to a second database instance, wherein the request includes a specified graph configuration and an object boundary identifier; collecting the one or more records by traversing a corresponding graph configuration associated with each of the one or more root records; generating a snapshot that includes the one or more records into one or more object record sets based on a corresponding object boundary identifier associated with each of the one or more root records and the one or more connected records; publishing the snapshot to the second database instance; and updating the second database instance.
