Fivetran Database Replication
Oakland, California, United States
What it is
Fivetran Database Replication moves large volumes of data from databases to destinations such as cloud data warehouses, databases, online data platforms, and data lakes. It supports log-based, timestamp-based, trigger-based, and log-free change data capture, with database sources including Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Db2 for i, MariaDB, MySQL, SAP ERP, and Cosmos DB. Updates are replicated incrementally in batches using merge operations; sync intervals can be set from every minute to every 24 hours. Users can block schemas or tables from syncing, and usage pricing counts inserted and updated rows but excludes unchanged rows and initial bulk loads. Deployment options include fully managed SaaS and hybrid operation, where selected pipelines run in a customer’s secure environment under Fivetran’s cloud control plane. Database connectors include a 14-day trial with free historical sync. A free plan is listed as free. Enterprise connectors and hybrid deployment are limited to Enterprise and Business Critical plans. The Trust Center lists compliance materials including GDPR, HITRUST, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 1, SOC 2, and PCI DSS v4.0.1.
