Key Features 

  1. Simplified Data Integration: You can connect and manage data with a wide range of data warehouses and databases such as :

    • Relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle)

    • NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra)

    • Cloud storage (e.g., Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage)

    • Business applications (e.g., Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics)

    • Analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics)

    • File-based systems (e.g., CSV, JSON, XML files)

  2. Real-time Data Synchronization: UnifyData uses CDC to efficiently replicate and synchronize data in real-time, ensuring that only new or modified data is processed.
    This reduces the load on your systems and ensures up-to-date information across all your data platforms.

  3. Pre-built Transformations Suite: Transform your data using a wide range of ready-to-use data transformations and convert it into the desired format for your destination, saving significant time and effort in pipeline development.

  3. Data Transformation: It acts as an intelligence layer between source and destination, which can help clean, restructure, or enrich the source data before loading it to the desired destination.

FAQs

What is Change Data Capture (CDC) and how does UnifyData support it?

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a technology that tracks and captures changes in data as they occur in real-time. This ensures that any updates, inserts, or deletions in your source data are immediately reflected in the target systems, maintaining data consistency and integrity without manual intervention.

What is the use of pre-build transformations?

Pre-built transformations in UnifyData will allow you to quickly apply common data transformations without writing complex code. These ready-to-use functions can reformat, cleanse, and enrich data.

Does UnifyData support file based storages such as Amazon S3 as source for data pipeline ?

Yes. UnifyData supports such storages. You can add Amazon S3 as the source of the pipeline and respectively select the folders from which files have to be extracted for parsing and transferring data to the desired destination.
