About

Founded in 2012, Fivetran builds fully managed ELT connectors that replicate data from 500+ sources—SaaS apps, databases, files, and APIs—into cloud warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift. Its zero-maintenance pipelines handle schema drift and API changes automatically, freeing data teams from connector upkeep. Fivetran targets mid-market and enterprise data teams that need reliable, always-on data movement without engineering overhead. It competes directly with Airbyte and Stitch, and positions itself on breadth of connectors, SOC 2 compliance, and column-level lineage through partnerships with dbt and major cloud warehouses.
