Fivetran’s Teleport Sync is Here!
Do you remember June of 2021? A lot may have happened, but there’s one moment in particular that we’re going to focus on today. That moment, of course, is Fivetran’s acquisition of Teleport Data “for database replication that offers the completeness of snapshots while approaching the speed of log-based systems.” This acquisition came about as an attempt to solve the problem of tracking changes in data and ensuring data quality and consistency when transferring data from its source location to a warehouse.
There have been some attempts to solve this problem, which you can read more about here in the blog post from Fivetran that announced this acquisition last year. Ultimately, those solutions had drawbacks that could be deal-breakers for data teams. With this acquisition, a new solution was on the horizon, one that would allow teams to move only changed data, and to do so without requiring bin log access.
Well, we’ve got great news! That solution is here, and it’s being rolled out for MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. They’ve been working on this for the past year now, and Hashmap is excited to see it come to fruition. Fivetran’s teleport sync is a “faster method for dataset comparison” that gets its name from that acquisition of Teleport Data. The name may be a callback, but the technology is new and offers the ability for teams to replicate databases and allow read-only users to access them. Users on either a trial or full version of Fivetran have access to this feature! You can read more about the release directly from Fivetran here.
