Estuary is a managed data integration platform that brings together change data capture, batch, streaming and app synchronization for analytics, operations and AI.

More than 200 prebuilt connectors cover databases, warehouses, SaaS apps and cloud platforms, including Snowflake, BigQuery, Kafka, MySQL and PostgreSQL. Customers can use their own cloud bucket and set how long data remains there. Deployment options include public, private and Bring Your Own Cloud. Estuary lists SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, HITECH, CCPA and GDPR among its compliance standards, and says data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
