Driving real-time analytics with Azure Cosmos DB and Fivetran
Organizations face the challenge of efficiently extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) data from various sources to leverage the power of real-time analytics and drive impactful business decisions. Azure Cosmos DB, a fully managed and serverless distributed database supporting NoSQL and relational workloads, is a valuable source for collecting and processing large quantities of data.
To harness the full potential of Azure Cosmos DB, businesses need a robust data integration solution that enables seamless replication of data to cloud destinations. Fivetran, a leader in the data movement space, has developed an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) solution that simplifies and accelerates the process of moving data from Azure Cosmos DB to various cloud destinations.
Together, Azure Cosmos DB and Fivetran can help you unlock your business’ valuable data sets to reliably power your real-time analytics.
Fivetran’s automated data movement platform offers seamless data replication from Azure Cosmos DB to a wide range of cloud destinations, such as data lakes, data warehouses, and analytical databases. By automating the data replication process, Fivetran eliminates the need for manual scripting or custom development, saving valuable time and resources. Organizations can focus on deriving insights from their Azure Cosmos DB data instead of managing complex data pipelines.
Combining real-time analytics in a cloud destination such as Snowflake or Databricks with Azure Cosmos DB’s scalable and distributed data collection and processing capabilities via a tool like Fivetran enables organizations to make informed decisions, respond to market trends promptly, and gain a competitive edge in their analysis. By providing up-to-date data to their analytics platforms, businesses can derive valuable insights in real time, enabling them to adapt quickly to changing market conditions.
Fivetran ensures data accuracy and consistency during replication via the Azure Cosmos DB change feed; this successfully replicates any INSERT and UPDATE operations to the cloud destination. By utilizing Azure Cosmos DB’s change feed feature, Fivetran captures data changes in real time and replicates them to the cloud destination. This ensures that the replicated data is always up-to-date and reflects the most recent changes in the Azure Cosmos DB source. Fivetran supports configurations of Azure Cosmos DB on NoSQL and MongoDB.With accurate and consistent data, organizations can make reliable decisions and trust the insights derived from their analytics systems.
