Stream into Azure Blob Storage Parquet with your free account

The Azure Blob Parquet connector exports delta updates from Estuary Flow collections into Apache Parquet files stored in an Azure Blob Storage container, combining cost-efficient storage with analytics-ready formatting.

• Efficient delta materialization: Writes only new and updated records from Flow collections, ensuring minimal overhead and optimal storage use.
• Parquet format optimization: Stores data in the columnar Parquet format for better compression and query performance in downstream analytics tools.
• Configurable upload behavior: Supports adjustable upload intervals, file size limits, and row group configurations for fine-grained control.
• Seamless Azure integration: Uses your storage account name, key, and container to authenticate securely and store data reliably.
• Organized file structure: Automatically versions and names files in lexically sortable order for consistent and recoverable output.
• Flexible schema mapping: Converts Flow field types into compatible Parquet data types, preserving structure and precision.

💡 Tip: Use shorter upload intervals for time-sensitive analytics, or increase row group limits to optimize read performance in engines like Synapse or Databricks.
