Avoid the Embedded iPaaS Trap

What's this blog post about?

Today's customers expect integrations from their SaaS and Services providers to improve user experiences and make buying decisions easier. However, building reliable pipelines in-house is often not the best use of engineering hours due to the complexity of handling hundreds of integrations. Pre-built, turnkey integrations are becoming increasingly popular as businesses adopt solutions like iPaaS and Reverse ETL. Embedded iPaaS excels at delivering quick integrations between a few systems with low complexity but struggles when scaling, leading to data discrepancies and reliability issues. Census Embedded, on the other hand, offers declarative syncing, which guarantees eventual consistency, making it easier to debug and maintain integrations. It also provides high observability and debugging tools, reduces infrastructure costs at scale, and is more cost-effective due to its focus on relevant changes only. The choice of integration solution will define the user experience for years to come, and Census Embedded is equipped with a solution that provides unparalleled data quality, accuracy, and observability.
