Estuary

Data, The Moment It Happens

Continuously extract data once, then control when and where it's delivered. From sub-second to scheduled, all in one platform.

Connect once. Deliver in real time.

Estuary uses change data capture to detect updates the moment they happen and delivers them to downstream systems in under 100 milliseconds, all through a single managed pipeline with no duplicate extraction.

Real-time CDC pipeline delivering data from sources to destinations in under 100msData flows from source systems through Estuary to Realtime Dashboards, Operational Databases, Search Systems, Event-driven Services, and AI Systems. Central hub shows 100ms delivery latency.100msdeliveryRealtimeDashboardsOperationalDatabasesSearchSystemsEvent-drivenServicesAISystems

Why it matters

Modern businesses rely on data for analytics, reporting, operations, and AI. Estuary removes the batch vs real-time tradeoff by letting teams extract data continuously and choose delivery timing based on downstream needs, without rebuilding pipelines or duplicating infrastructure.

Pipeline architecture: many components versus unified EstuaryLeft: separate components including CDC connector, stream broker, transformation, orchestration, and schema management. Right: unified Estuary platform.

Frequently asked questions

    What does “real-time” mean in Estuary?

    Estuary delivers data in under 100 milliseconds end-to-end, allowing downstream systems like analytics dashboards, operational databases, and AI models to act on fresh data instantly.

    Traditional streaming requires managing infrastructure like Kafka and custom pipelines. Estuary provides a fully managed platform that handles ingestion, delivery, and recovery without operational overhead.

    Yes. Estuary lets you configure delivery latency per destination, so you can run sub-second pipelines for critical systems and slower delivery for cost-sensitive workloads.

    No. Estuary guarantees exactly-once delivery and deterministic recovery, ensuring accuracy and consistency even in real-time pipelines.

    Real-time analytics dashboards, fraud detection systems, operational monitoring, and AI inference pipelines all benefit from continuously fresh data.
