MotherDuck connector details

The MotherDuck connector from Estuary brings Flow collections into MotherDuck tables with cloud-native efficiency. Data is staged in Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage, then seamlessly loaded into MotherDuck for low-latency querying and analytics. By supporting both merge operations and delta updates, the connector makes it easy to power CDC pipelines while optimizing for cost and performance.

  • Materializes Flow collections into MotherDuck tables for real-time insights
  • Uses S3 or GCS as a scalable, temporary staging layer
  • Supports delta updates for CDC-style replication and merges for consistency
  • Flexible sync scheduling to balance freshness with resource usage
  • Secure integration with MotherDuck Service Token authentication
