Estuary Flow

aid: estuary-flow
name: Estuary Flow
description: Estuary Flow is a real-time data movement and transformation platform combining streaming infrastructure, a runtime,
  and an open-source ecosystem of connectors. It supports change data capture (CDC), SaaS integration, database replication,
  streaming lakehouse, and real-time analytics pipelines. Users build pipelines as captures, collections, derivations, and
  materializations - manageable from the web dashboard, the flowctl CLI, and a REST/agent API.
