Regarding the best features Estuary offers in my experience, I love that it uses ingesting streaming data via Change Data Capture, which is ideal for our workloads. I also love that it automatically infers and adapts to the schema updates on our source DB without breaking down the downstream consumer or vector indexes. Another great feature is the flexible developer controls, such as CLI commands, SQL commands, live script, and support for Python derivation for transformations. It enforces strict exact processing guarantees and ensures that sensitive data is safe and not leaving our cloud boundary during transit. Regarding Estuary's AI capabilities, the governance and security of the AI agents and workflows are really strong, making sure that sensitive data remains within the system, with great encryption measures in place to ensure that no bad actor can access it and that the data stays safe within the organization. Estuary has definitely met my expectations regarding the accuracy and reliability of output, delivering great results while saving a lot of time, and the output is clear and concise. Estuary integrates really well with the other AWS services we are using, whether it's our databases or internal repositories, connecting easily without any issues in integration.
