Decodable
What it is
Decodable is a managed, serverless platform for real-time ETL, ELT, and stream processing, powered by Apache Flink and Debezium. Data engineers, application developers, and data scientists can build pipelines with SQL, Java, or Python and manage them through a UI, CLI, APIs, or dbt. SQL supports transformations, filtering, stateful joins, and complex event processing. Pipelines process data exactly once by default and resume from where they stopped after an interruption or failure. Connectors include Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, Apache Iceberg, and Snowflake, with Debezium-powered change data capture. Teams can use Decodable-hosted infrastructure or a Bring Your Own Cloud deployment. The free plan does not expire and requires no credit card; it allows 24 hours or 10GiB of stream retention, up to 20 streams, and four running tasks. On Demand costs $0.12 a month, while Enterprise is listed at $0.10 a year. Free support includes community Slack and best-effort chat; Enterprise includes dedicated Slack or Teams, chat, email, and Zoom support around the clock.
