Artie vs PeerDB

Artie streams database changes captured through CDC or events ingested through an API to destinations in real time. It describes sub-minute latency and exactly-once delivery. Automatic schema handling detects column additions, drops, and type changes and applies them without pipeline restarts or manual DDL. History mode, or SCD Type 2, tracks row versions over time in the destination. A dashboard monitors pipeline health, throughput, latency, and errors, with Datadog and Grafana integrations available. Listed sources include PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Oracle, and SQL Server; destinations include Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, and S3. Data controls include column-level inclusion, exclusion, encryption, and hashing. Artie says it encrypts data in transit and at rest and does not retain data after processing. The Free plan costs nothing and allows up to 1M billable rows per month and two active pipelines. Growth costs $500 a month billed annually as $6,000, or $600/month month-to-month. Enterprise pricing is custom; it includes BYOC and on-premise deployment options.

PeerDB streams data from Postgres to data warehouses, queues, and storage engines, using one-way replication. Its supported methods include log-based change data capture, cursor-based replication with timestamps or integers, and XMIN-based replication. A Postgres-compatible SQL interface supports ETL and data movement, and PeerDB handles Postgres data types such as jsonb, arrays, and PostGIS, as well as TOAST columns and schema changes. The actively maintained source connectors are PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, CockroachDB, and BigQuery; actively maintained destinations are ClickHouse, ClickHouse Cloud, and Postgres. Snowflake, BigQuery, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Redpanda, Confluent, Azure Event Hubs, Google Pub/Sub, and S3 destinations are deprecated and no longer actively maintained. PeerDB is available for free deployment under the AGPL-3.0 license. Paid plans start at $250/mo for Micro, which allows up to two vcores and is recommended for up to 50 million rows moved per month. Larger plans list higher row-volume recommendations and vcore limits. PeerDB states that it is 10x faster than existing tools and reports SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance.
