Senior Associate Infrastructure at Publicis Sapient
Centralized data pipelines have reduced costs and now power faster analytics and reporting
The best features Airbyte Cloud offers include the centralization of data for analytics by combining data from SaaS tools, databases, and APIs into one place. It enables production models, BI reporting, and ML use cases. Airbyte Cloud has a huge connector ecosystem with over 600 connectors across SaaS tools, databases, apps, and platforms that can be integrated. Faster integration requires less engineering work. Automation and reliability are significant features, allowing me to schedule syncs daily with auto-retry, logging, and alerting capabilities. Incremental updates such as CDC for efficiency are available. Airbyte Cloud is a managed cloud solution with no infrastructure worries, as everything is managed. It is customizable, and the significant difference is that we have full control. It is also more cost-effective than competitors.Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted my organization by reducing the manpower required for managing the underlying resources of a data sync. It directly performs the job that a database engineer would do by managing a huge connector ecosystem with over 600 connectors across SaaS tools and databases, enabling faster integration. Whenever new data arrives, it automatically syncs to the destination source without requiring any engineer to manually copy or replicate the data. This approach helps our organization significantly.

Real-time data streaming has simplified transformations and kept enterprise databases synchronized
Oracle GoldenGate is good, but I would like to improve it. There is a need for whoever installs and configures Oracle GoldenGate to set the correct parameters for the use cases we need to use. In some cases, we had performance problems related to the streaming because there was a lot of information to stream concurrently. However, you can tune Oracle GoldenGate to use more RAM on the source side or more processes. I think that sometimes what is missing is knowledge about the tool from the person responsible for configuration. At this moment, Oracle GoldenGate is a very good tool, and I do not know in which area we can improve it. Perhaps the debug part of the tool could be improved. In some cases, I use the utility for how Oracle GoldenGate generates messages about the statements that it streams because of bugs, and in some cases, it is not very user-friendly. It may be possible to improve the API or the path related to debugging, but not the tool itself. The tool itself is good. I remember that in some configurations, we had problems with the streaming of DDL, which are changes to Oracle object structures such as tables and procedures. A new feature could be to perform streaming for operational objects such as procedures, functions, packages, or grants. This would synchronize source and target for these aspects, not only for data or the main types of structures, but also for others. I remember that there was some configuration in which you performed the streaming of the entire schema, or if you performed streaming for only tables, then you were unable to stream grants and other Oracle objects. I think it is important to introduce that capability.
