Fivetran provides an automated ELT platform that extracts, loads, and optionally transforms data from over 700 SaaS, database, ERP, and file sources into data warehouses, lakes, or downstream applications. The service handles schema drift, change‑data‑capture, and real‑time replication without custom code, offering enterprise‑grade security, governance, and hybrid deployment options. Users configure pipelines via a web UI or API and are billed per million rows synced.

Problem
Organizations must integrate data from hundreds of SaaS applications, databases, ERP systems, and file sources into data warehouses or lakes. Manual ETL pipelines are error‑prone, require ongoing schema maintenance, and expose sensitive data during transfer, slowing analytics and AI initiatives.
Solution
Fivetran delivers an automated ELT platform that continuously extracts, loads, and optionally transforms data from over 700 pre‑built connectors into any destination—data warehouses, lakes, or downstream applications. The service handles schema drift, change data capture, and real‑time replication without custom code, while enforcing enterprise‑grade security and governance. Users configure pipelines through a web UI or API, and the platform scales elastically to ingest terabytes per hour. Integrated transformation models let teams apply SQL‑based logic on load, and managed data‑lake services provide query‑ready, open‑format tables. Hybrid deployment options enable on‑premise or private‑network syncing for strict compliance environments.
Target Audience
The platform is aimed at data engineers, analytics engineers, and enterprise analytics teams that need reliable, scalable data pipelines across multiple cloud and on‑premise environments. It also serves SaaS product teams and AI/ML groups requiring governed, up‑to‑date data for downstream models.
Features
- 700+ native connectors for SaaS apps, relational databases, ERP systems, streaming sources, and file stores, with automatic schema detection and drift handling.
- Continuous change‑data‑capture (CDC) pipelines that deliver near‑real‑time updates to destinations.
- On‑load SQL transformations (dbt‑compatible) that materialize clean, analytics‑ready tables without separate ETL jobs.
- Enterprise security certifications (SOC 1/2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, HITRUST) and end‑to‑end encryption in transit and at rest.
- Governance controls including role‑based access, audit logs, and data‑masking policies.
- Extensibility via a Connector SDK and Terraform provider for custom source or destination development.
- Hybrid deployment models (private networking, proxy agents) that keep traffic within a customer’s VPC while leveraging Fivetran’s managed service.
- REST API and webhook support for programmatic pipeline management and integration with CI/CD pipelines.
- Usage‑based pricing that charges per million rows synced, with a free tier that requires no credit card.
