Xometry Saves 60% on Data Integration with a Secure Estuary Private Deployment

The Challenge

Xometry's existing data integration systems, while robust, were not able to keep pace with the company's rapid expansion. As the business scaled, stakeholders required near-real-time access to critical data without compromising operational cost and overhead. 

As such, Xometry sought a new partner to augment their existing technology stack in order to meet their growing needs.

Discovering Estuary

Xometry discovered Estuary while thoroughly evaluating data integration alternatives. Estuary's predictable pricing based on data volume, real-time streaming capabilities, and exceptional customer support stood out immediately as key differentiators.

Why Choose Estuary?

• Transparent Pricing: Predictable, volume-based billing model
• Resilient, secure architecture: Private deployments provide a safe, fast pathway for data
• Streaming-First Architecture: Built for real-time from the ground up
• Support That Delivers: SLAs with actual resolution times

Smooth Implementation and Migration

Migrating critical connectors to Estuary required careful planning and adaptation. While there was an initial learning curve, Estuary’s responsive support team played a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth transition, helping Xometry quickly overcome early challenges and accelerate adoption.

Powerful Technical Impact

Xometry’s adoption of Estuary brought significant improvements across their data infrastructure:

• Reliable, Real-Time Streaming: Estuary replaced batch syncs with continuous streaming directly into Snowflake from core systems like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. This reduced latency and improved data freshness for critical reporting, supporting sales, marketing, operations, accounting, and data science teams.
  
• Private Deployment & Visibility: Leveraging Estuary’s private data plane gave Xometry enhanced control, finer-grained logging, and better visibility into system performance—capabilities that were previously out of reach.

This new architecture empowers Xometry to scale confidently while supporting real-time mission-critical operations.

Business Results

The transition to Estuary delivered immediate and impressive financial results:

By switching to Estuary, Xometry reduced its annual data integration expenses by more than 60%, significantly enhancing financial predictability and operational efficiency.

Operationally, real-time data integration has significantly enhanced productivity, decision-making speed, and reliability, directly benefiting analytics teams and business operations.

Cairo Thompson, Staff Data Engineer:

"Choosing Estuary has made a night and day transformation to our ELT pipelines. The realtime data collection and the responsive and efficient customer support has been huge for us."

Conclusion

By replacing their previous vendor with Estuary, Xometry achieved:

• 60% cost savings on data integration
• Real-time streaming from key systems to Snowflake
• Improved agility across analytics, sales, and operations
• Greater control with private deployment and granular visibility

Estuary’s modern, streaming-first architecture delivered the reliability, speed, and predictability Xometry needed, making it a scalable foundation for future growth.

For organizations looking to move beyond batch pipelines and unpredictable pricing, Estuary offers a clear, cost-effective path forward.
