Moving away from Fivetran due to cost: Massive Salesforce ingestion to Snowflake at scale — what are our real alternatives? (Reddit Thread)
Engineers are moving away from Fivetran for large-scale Salesforce-to-Snowflake pipelines, favoring native zero-copy integration or custom dlt pipelines.
What: Organizations managing massive Salesforce ingestion are shifting to Salesforce Data Cloud's direct Snowflake integration or utilizing dlt for efficient Bulk API processing to cut costs.
Why it matters: Managed ingestion tools like Fivetran often become prohibitively expensive for high-volume Salesforce datasets, necessitating architectural changes toward native platform integration.
Takeaway: If your Salesforce ingestion costs are spiking, evaluate if Salesforce Data Cloud's zero-copy integration can bypass standard ETL/ELT pipelines for your Snowflake instance.
