Hi all! Might be a very dumb question but I can’t find any documentation regarding Powered by CloudQuery. Does it work similar to Fivetran and how can I access it? Thank you fine people!
CloudQuery can run very easily locally and in self-hosted, so you can just embed it inside your product. You will just need to integrate with CloudQuery CLI. You will, of course, need to subscribe to either a pay-as-you-go plan or a custom plan if usage grows, but you can start experimenting with the free tier, though.
Thank you for such a prompt answer! So it’s not like Fivetran’s or Hotglue’s “widget” where user onboarding is handled by the platform? If we go with CloudQuery, do we have to just create a new source for each customer or do we somehow “rotate” credentials? Sorry if it all sounds dull. If there is a section in the documentation describing a multi-user approach, please share.
It’s a great question. Yes, you will need to create a new source for each user.
We are basically on the lookout for a tool that will let our customers bring their own data.
Great! Thanks a lot!
@quality-ladybug If I can ask a follow-up question, where will your customers be bringing their data from? And where would you like to sync it to - presumably your own database?
Absolutely, mostly CRM and email providers like HubSpot and Brevo.
Got it, thanks! And would you mostly be interested in self-hosting the CloudQuery CLI or running in our managed environment?
If self-hosting, you could have a single config file with template variables, then set the environment variables with secrets for every customer. If using cloud syncs, you could set up a new sync for every customer via our API. Here are our docs about environment variable substitution: CloudQuery Documentation
You would probably use the same CloudQuery login or API key for all the syncs.
That’s a gorgeous answer! As probably you may tell, I’m definitely not savvy enough in DE and DevOps, thus looking for managed solutions.
P.S. If we go with cloud sync, does source API access get managed by CloudQuery, or do we need to obtain and pass client keys?
Hi!
I suggest setting up a meeting where we can potentially walk through what we support right now, in the near future, and discuss your use case to see if there is a potential fit. Feel free to pick a slot here: Calendly
