Stitch

Stitch (which was highly successful as an independent startup before being strategically acquired by Talend/Qlik) is a highly agile, incredibly streamlined, developer-centric ELT platform that competes directly in the exact same market space as Fivetran. It is heavily favored by modern, fast-moving startups and mid-market data teams who want a "set-it-and-forget-it" data pipeline tool but prefer a more flexible, open-source-friendly, and highly transparent pricing model compared to enterprise incumbents. The core differentiator of Stitch is its foundation on "Singer," an open-source standard for writing scripts that move data. Because Stitch is built on this open standard, if a company uses a highly obscure SaaS application that Stitch doesn't natively support, a data engineer can easily write a Singer "Tap" (an extraction script) in Python, and instantly plug it into the Stitch infrastructure to handle the loading and scaling. This provides massive extensibility. Furthermore, Stitch is famously easy to deploy. A data analyst can create an account, authenticate their Salesforce and Zendesk APIs with OAuth, and have massive amounts of raw data flowing cleanly into an Amazon Redshift or Snowflake warehouse in under 15 minutes, with absolutely zero coding required. For teams seeking rapid, straightforward, developer-friendly data replication with open-source extensibility, Stitch is an incredibly efficient engine.
