Striim

Real-time data integration platform combining log-based CDC with in-flight stream processing, available self-hosted or as managed cloud.

Visit Striim Alternatives

Striim specializes in continuous, low-latency data movement built around change data capture from enterprise databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and mainframe sources) into targets such as cloud warehouses, Kafka or other databases. Unlike simpler CDC connectors, Striim includes an in-memory stream processing layer (a SQL-based language, TQL) for filtering, enriching, and transforming events as they move, plus built-in monitoring dashboards and data validation tooling. It ships in three forms: a free Developer edition capped at 25 million events/month for evaluation and small use cases, a self-hosted Striim Platform for on-premises or customer-managed cloud VMs, and Striim Cloud as a fully managed SaaS billed on data moved. Enterprise pricing for both Platform and Cloud is quote-based.

Terms to know

Change data capture (CDC) A technique for detecting and streaming only the rows that changed in a source system, instead of reloading everything. Data pipeline The automated sequence of steps that moves data from source systems to a destination, transforming it along the way. Data validation Checking that data meets explicit, predefined rules for type, range, format, or consistency before it is used or trusted. Stream processing Processing data continuously as individual events arrive, rather than waiting to accumulate a batch.

How to choose a change data capture tool Pick CDC by how it reads the source log, who has to operate it, and whether you actually need sub-second delivery or just a fresh warehouse table.
