Summary

Fivetran has acquired new technology for database replication that combines the benefits of snapshots and log-based systems while avoiding their drawbacks. This acquisition extends Fivetran's existing replication capabilities, offering a simpler and faster alternative to traditional methods. The new approach, called Teleport Sync, is less intrusive than current log-based solutions and captures all data without requiring specialized security access or highly customized scripts. It also improves throughput without needing network engineers or extra/load query analysis. Fivetran's commitment to innovation aims to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity, positioning the company as a leader in ELT solutions.
