For streaming/CDC sources, estuary is a no brainer. Very easy to implement and monitor usage. Costs are reasonable and predictable

Estuary eliminates the need to stand up and maintain costly infrastructure, like kafka topics and data pipelines. It's replication from any source to cloud data warehouses made simple and very cost effective. Implementation and integration is also dead easy! Lastly, their customer support teams are very responsive and resolve issues immediately.

For initial and basic setup, Estuary offers a fast and cost-effective way to integrate major data sources. I was able to connect my MongoDB to Snowflake for analytics purposes within just a few hours, which is something I haven't seen any other tool accomplish. I switched from Fivetran to Estuary to achieve lower latency and to significantly reduce my expenses for both Fivetran and Snowflake. After more than a year, I am using more data sources and destinations on daily basis. In this period, error messages in the UI have become more helpful (yet still are not perfect) when debugging connections to a new data source. The founder, David, is very hands-on and has been extremely helpful, taking the time to explain configuration quirks and respond to feature requests on several occasions. The Slack channel serves as the main and efficient way to get support.
