Save money on managed Change Data Capture
The Challenge
The engineers at Soli & Company focus on building solutions that prioritize performance and save time for their clients. In a shifting economic climate, they were finding it harder to justify the hard-to-follow pricing models of other change data capture (CDC) vendors. When Tony Tushar, a principal data consultant at Soli & Company, took on a new client that was replicating fast-changing data, it was clear that they needed CDC — but none of the existing vendors seemed like the best, cost-effective fit.
The Solution
Another consultancy estimated two weeks of setup per CDC source, but after learning about Estuary Flow, Tony felt confident he could set up all 6 sources in two weeks. As promised, Tony and the team set up a single data pipeline using Estuary Flow that connected 6 different MariaDB instances to BigQuery in under two weeks. With CDC infrastructure in place, the client eliminated redundant processing, enabled self-serve analytics for advertising, and is enjoying more streamlined collaboration with Soli & Company.
“[Estuary Flow is] a very productive product with a great pricing model given the current climate that we're in. I think a lot of cost-conscious data practitioners could benefit from giving it a try.”
— Tony Tushar, Principal Data Consultant Soli & Company
After using Estuary Flow to provide their client with a quick and affordable transition to CDC, Soli & Company plans to recommend Estuary Flow to future clients.
