How to Stream Data From AWS PostgreSQL to Databricks
Blog post from Streamkap
Streamkap is a real-time data streaming solution that enables businesses to seamlessly connect AWS PostgreSQL to Databricks in minutes, offering a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional batch ETL methods like Fivetran and Airbyte. It provides sub-second latency for data processing and dynamic analytics, thanks to its Kafka-based architecture and CDC-ready connectors, making it ideal for data-driven decision-making at scale. Streamkap is praised for its ease of use, allowing users to set up streaming pipelines without coding and ensuring predictable pricing, which is up to three times cheaper than some competitors. Despite Fivetran's popularity, its reliance on batch processes and unpredictable pricing, especially for high data volumes, drives users toward Streamkap, which also offers built-in monitoring and alerting for seamless data processing.
