Stream every transaction from your OLTP databases into your data warehouse in real time โ no nightly batches, no stale dashboards, no blocked source systems. Decisions powered by data that is always current.
Traditional ETL pipelines extract data from OLTP systems on a schedule โ nightly, hourly, or every few minutes. By the time your analysts run their dashboards, the data is already stale. Decisions are made on yesterday's reality. SkyliftAI MigDB's CDC-based streaming pipeline eliminates the batch entirely, delivering a continuous, sub-second flow of changes from your production database straight into your data warehouse.
Every component of the pipeline is AI-augmented โ from schema mapping to anomaly detection โ delivering accuracy and speed that manual ETL pipelines cannot match.
The difference between batch analytics and real-time analytics isn't just speed โ it's the nature of the decisions that become possible. These are the scenarios where data freshness is a competitive advantage.
