Estuary

Estuary builds Estuary Flow, a real-time data movement platform for streaming ETL and change data capture (CDC). Flow captures data from databases, warehouses, and SaaS systems into durable collections and materializes those collections back out to destinations. The Flow control plane exposes a Supabase/PostgREST-based REST API (Bearer refresh/access tokens) covering captures, materializations, collections, catalog drafts and publications, connectors, and tenants/billing, while the data plane is driven declaratively via the flowctl CLI and a Gitops model.

Estuary publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, Captures API, Collections API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Data Integration, Streaming ETL, Change Data Capture, CDC, and Real-Time Data.

Estuary’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
