Benchmarked: A data pipeline latency analysis

Fivetran is a software company that provides change data capture (CDC) technology for integrating data from various sources into cloud-based data warehouses. To measure the performance of its system, Fivetran designed a benchmark to simulate a high-volume database workload and ran it on common relational databases like Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MySQL. The benchmark showed that Fivetran can deliver fresh data into Snowflake in under 17 minutes, even under sustained high throughput, making it suitable for near real-time data integration. The company plans to use this automated test suite internally to ensure consistent performance, extend the benchmark framework to more system configurations, and share the results publicly.
