Real-time ETL with Estuary Flow: Seamlessly move data from source to destination for immediate analysis and actionable insights.

Right-time data movement

    Key features

    Estuary stands out because it brings together the best of CDC, real-time, and batch with modern data engineering best practices, enabling the best of both worlds, without managing infrastructure.

    Connect apps, analytics, and AI using 100s of streaming CDC, real-time, and batch no-code connectors built by Estuary for speed and scale.

    Perform end-to-end streaming CDC.

    • Stream transaction logs + incremental backfill.
    • Capture change data to a collection.
    • Reuse for transformations or destinations.

    Use Flow Dekaf to connect any Kafka-compatible destination to Flow as if it were a Kafka cluster via the destination's existing Kafka consumer API support.

    Stream data from each source, then load each destination at any speed, from <100ms for operations or hour+ intervals, for analytics.

    As you capture data, Flow automatically stores each stream as a reusable collection, like a Kafka topic but with unlimited storage. It is a durable append-only transaction log stored in your own private account so you can set security rules and encryption.

    Flow

    Transform and derive data in real-time (ETL), using SQL or Typescript for operations, or use dbt to transform data (ELT) for analytics.

    Move data from many sources to collections, then to many destinations all at once. Share and reuse data across projects, or replace sources and destinations without impacting others.

    Reuse collections to backfill destinations enabling fast and effective one-to-many distribution, streaming transformations and time travel, at any time.

    Automatically inferred and managed from source to destination using schema evolution.

    • Automated downstream updates.
    • Continuous data validation and testing.

    CLI and API Automation using flowctl.

    Deploy each capture, SQL or TypeScript task, and materialization of a single pipeline in the same or different public or private clouds and regions.

    Create dependable, right-time data pipelines in minutes

    Connect hundreds of sources and destinations with no-code pipelines that give you full control over latency, cost, and deployment — all from one platform.

    Create a data pipeline - Step 1

    1. Integrate Sources

    Add sources and destinations using agentless, no-code connectors for CDC, batch, and streaming across databases, SaaS, and data warehouses.

    2. Manage Cadence

    Choose the right cadence for every connection from sub-second streaming to scheduled batches and optimize speed or cost based on your workload.

    Create a data pipeline - Step 3

    3. Ensure Reliability

    Choose between maintaining a mirrored copy of your data or a full audit log with exactly-once delivery, guaranteed.

    The same data across analytics, Ops, and AI

    Add data from your sources into collections. Then reuse that data for any destinations in real-time or batch.

    Coding optional

    Configure or code to power AI with right-time data

    Build dependable, AI-ready data pipelines using the right mix of no-code configuration and developer tools. Estuary unifies batch and streaming so enterprises can move, transform, and sync data continuously across their stack - fueling analytics, operations, and AI.

    • Use 100s of no-code connectors for apps, databases, data warehouses, and more.

    • Build visually in the Flow UI or develop with the flowctl CLI.

    • Transform using Streaming SQL (ETL) and TypeScript (ETL) or dbt (ELT) in your warehouse — delivering fresh, right-time data to power AI models and applications.

    Coding optional

    Use modern DataOps

    Rely on built-in data pipeline best practices, integrate tooling, and automate DataOps to improve productivity and reduce downtime.

    • Automate DataOps and integrate with other tooling using the flowctl CLI.

    • Use built-in pipeline testing to validate data and pipeline flows automatically.

    • Select advanced schema detection and automate schema evolution.

    Focus on building, not babysitting pipelines. Estuary helps teams move faster and spend less with dependable, right-time data movement and predictable pricing.

    • Build and scale pipelines 4x faster with fewer failures and less manual troubleshooting.

    • Cut data costs by 40-60% with transparent, throughput-based pricing (see pricing.)

    • Minimize source strain by capturing data once, then sync it everywhere you need.

    • Optimize destination spend with right-time updates—stream in real time when it matters, batch when it doesn't.

    Deliver right-time data at scale

    Estuary powers dependable data movement at massive scale - unifying batch, streaming, and CDC pipelines in production for thousands of enterprises. Built for the world's most demanding workloads, Estuary moves data over 7+ GB/sec with sub-100 ms latency.

    • Stream or batch data at any scale from sub-second to scheduled updates.

    • Ensure data integrity with exactly-once delivery and deterministic recovery.

    • Monitor performance with built-in alerting, load balancing, and failover designed for enterprise reliability.

    Streaming ETL vs. Batch ELT

    Key feature - Real-time and batch

    Streaming ETL

    With Estuary, you extract data exactly and only once using CDC, real-time, or batch; use ELT and ETL; and deliver to many destinations with one pipeline.

    Key feature - Real-time and batch

    Batch

    SaaS ELT tools are batch only, point-to-point replication. Each destination requires its own pipeline and source extractions, adding loads, costs, and time.
