Bad ingestion doesn't just break pipelines. It shows up in your Snowflake bill.

When CDC tools fall back to incremental queries, you end up paying for it. Sequential loads, inefficient merges, and high compute consumption add up fast, and the data still isn't fresh when your team needs it.

What makes Estuary different

Built for teams that need data in Snowflake to be fast, reliable, and cost-predictable.

  • Log-based CDC that stays running

    Estuary reads directly from database transaction logs. No incremental queries, no replication slot drops, no source database impact.

  • Predictable pricing

    No MAR-based surprises, no per-connector fees. You know what you're paying before your contract comes up for renewal.

  • One source, many destinations

    Capture data once and deliver it to Snowflake, S3, ClickHouse, or wherever your stack is going. No duplicate pipelines, no redundant ingestion costs.

  • Flexible deployment

    Public cloud, private deployment, or BYOC. Your data stays where your compliance team needs it.

Batch and Real-Time CDC in one system

Estuary supports both scheduled batch loads and continuous log-based CDC within a single ingestion layer.

Our log-based CDC reads directly from database transaction logs, capturing committed changes in order with minimal impact on source systems.

We didn't want to be locked into a system where faster syncs meant higher bills. Estuary gives us real-time pipelines without pricing games or the burden of running Kafka ourselves.

Combined with a streaming-first architecture, this supports:

  • Continuous replication into Snowflake

  • Controlled delivery timing

  • Predictable scaling as write volume grows

  • Efficient resource usage

Batch and real-time replication run through the same system, reducing coordination between tools.
