Estuary Flow
Build real-time, historical, and consistent data pipelines.
Overview
Estuary Flow is a modern DataOps platform designed for building and managing real-time data pipelines. It combines historical backfills with real-time Change Data Capture (CDC) to ensure data is both complete and up-to-the-minute. It uses a Git-like workflow for managing pipelines as code and stores all data in a cloud data lake, providing a consistent and replayable source of truth before loading to destinations.
✨ Key Features
- Real-time CDC and batch connectors
- Combines historical and real-time data
- Transactional semantics between systems
- Pipelines as code (GitOps workflow)
- Streaming SQL transformations
- Managed cloud service
🎯 Key Differentiators
- DataOps/GitOps approach to pipeline management
- Guarantees of data consistency and completeness (historical + real-time)
- Intermediate storage layer provides flexibility and replayability
Unique Value: Estuary Flow brings engineering best practices like CI/CD and transactional consistency to data pipelines, enabling teams to build more reliable and manageable real-time data systems.
