How to Migrate from Fivetran to CData Sync: A Step-by-Step Guide
Blog post from CData
CData Sync is presented as an alternative to Fivetran for organizations seeking more deployment flexibility, predictable connection-based pricing, enterprise security, broad source and destination support, and built-in or dbt-based transformations. The migration process begins with auditing and exporting Fivetran connector settings, schemas, transformations, schedules, schema-drift behavior, and downstream dependencies, ideally documented in a mapping blueprint. Teams then install or access Sync, configure source and destination connections, rebuild replication jobs with selected tables, optional transformations, CDC, and matching schedules, and test results through logs, previews, record counts, and production reporting. After validating pipelines, organizations can schedule a low-usage cutover, redirect downstream tools, disable Fivetran connectors, and use Sync monitoring and workspace features to optimize operations, separate environments, and replicate configurations across teams or clients.
