Comment on Launch HN: Bracket (YC W22) – Two-Way Sync Between Salesforce and Postgresparent

Comments

I don't know much about Bracket, but looking through their docs[1] it looks like they support streaming from Salesforce as an alternative to batch/scheduled jobs (which is what Fivetran does)

Yup! We offer two ways of interacting with Salesforce: polling and streaming. The benefits of streaming are faster syncs and optimized Salesforce API usage.

Right now, we're focusing on use cases that require changes to be synced within a minute. Fivetran and its ilk are generally more focused on large data batches at less frequent intervals (e.g., to unlock 1-minute syncs at Fivetran, you must be on the Enterprise plan, whereas we offer that out of the gate with the Starter plan).

We use Fivetran for big data sets but less frequent one-way syncs as you reference, and it is great but VERY expensive.
