The correct way to maintain data quality for AI initiatives
Dave Yaffe, CEO and Co-Founder of Estuary, recently spoke at the DBTA webinar: Building Autonomous Pipelines for the AI Era.
In this highlight from the Q&A session, Dave stresses that fixing data at the source, while unglamorous, is the correct approach to ensuring consistent data quality & better downstream data for your agentic workflows.

Estuary 101: How To Build Right-Time Data Pipelines
Join hosts Dani and Zulf for a fast-paced walkthrough of how to design and ship right-time data pipelines with Estuary. In this session, you’ll get: - Context: What “right-time” really means, where Estuary fits among batch vs. streaming and managed vs. self-hosted options, and why unified ingestion reduces cost and complexity. - Live End-to-End Demo: Connect CDC sources, apply declarative transformations, and materialize data simultaneously into a warehouse, analytical engines, and object storage—plus a look at observability, error recovery, and real-world scenarios like schema drift and backfills. - Live Q&A: Ask about your specific stack, pipeline designs, and how to scale Estuary for enterprise workloads. Perfect for data and analytics engineers, architects, and platform owners who want fresher data with fewer moving parts.
How to Stream Data into Snowflake
Ingest data into a Snowflake warehouse using real-time Snowpipe Streaming or using batch COPY INTO commands. Estuary makes Snowflake integration simple with pre-built no-code connectors.

What is the fastest way to load data into Snowflake? Snowpipe Streaming with row-based ingestion. In Estuary, you can enable it per table using Delta Updates. 2. Why use key pair authentication for Snowflake? It provides strong security, short-lived tokens, and is Snowflake’s recommended approach for service integrations like Estuary. 3. Can I mix real-time and batch ingestion in the same pipeline? Yes. With Estuary’s Snowflake connector, you can run some tables in batch (COPY INTO or Snowpipe) and others in real time with Snowpipe Streaming.
