Data loses value the second it goes stale. Artie keeps your warehouse as current as your database. We replicate data to Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, and more in under a minute. It's the streaming infrastructure DoorDash, Uber, and Instacart spent 1–2 years and 10+ engineers building in-house, deployed in an afternoon. Artie automates the entire ingestion lifecycle: change data capture, merges, backfills, schema evolution, and deep observability, at billions of change events per day. What that looks like in practice: • Sub-minute replication from Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and more • Zero maintenance – no Kafka to babysit, no pipelines to patch at 2am • Production-ready from day one, with row-level visibility into every pipeline Teams at Substack, ClickUp, and Alloy run on Artie to power real-time analytics, AI features, and operational workflows on data that's actually current. Built by engineers who got tired of waiting for their data.
