What is Artie?

Artie is a managed real-time data replication platform from Artie Technologies Inc., a San Francisco company. It uses change data capture (CDC) to read a database's transaction log and stream every change to a warehouse or lake. The company says delivery happens with sub-minute latency and exactly-once guarantees, so teams do not have to build the pipeline themselves.

The pitch is aimed at teams that would otherwise assemble Kafka, Debezium, and custom consumer code, or accept the tradeoffs of AWS DMS. Artie argues that the first version of a replication pipeline is easy, while schema evolution, fan-in, exactly-once delivery at scale, and failure recovery take most teams one to two years to build. Artie sells that work as a service.

How does Artie work?

Setup follows three steps. First, connect a source such as Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB. Second, choose which tables and columns to replicate, along with masking rules and whether to use SCD Type 1 or Type 2. Third, deploy the pipeline. Artie runs the initial backfill and then streams ongoing changes to the destination.

Because Artie reads the replication log instead of running full-table scans, the company says load on the source is minimal. Historical backfills can run on a read replica to avoid production impact. Artie also states that it never stores customer data: it reads from the log and streams to the destination, with credentials encrypted at rest and data encrypted end to end.

Key features of Artie

The core replication features are automatic schema evolution, exactly-once delivery, and non-intrusive backfills. Column adds, drops, and type changes are applied without pipeline restarts or manual DDL. Users can keep a 1:1 mirror of a table (SCD Type 1) or history mode (SCD Type 2), which stores every version of every row as an audit trail.

Artie also covers security and scale needs. Column-level controls let teams include, exclude, encrypt, or hash fields in flight. Fan-in maps hundreds of single-tenant databases into one destination schema, and soft partitioning organizes time series tables by time range. A built-in dashboard shows health, throughput, latency, and errors, with Datadog and Grafana integrations available.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Managed CDC replication removes the need to build and run Kafka, Debezium, and custom consumer code.
  • Backfills are always free and never count toward billable rows, including later re-backfills.
  • Free plan includes sub-minute latency, exactly-once delivery, and SOC 2 Type II coverage.
  • Column-level include, exclude, encrypt, and hash controls apply in flight to protect PII.
  • Wide connector list covers Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and more.
  • Enterprise offers bring-your-own-cloud and on-premise deployment for strict data residency needs.

Cons

  • Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server sources and archive-log replication are Enterprise-only, with custom pricing.
  • Free is capped at 1M billable rows a month and 2 active pipelines; SSO, RBAC, HIPAA, and monitoring need Growth.
  • Growth pricing is usage-based, so costs depend on row volume and are harder to predict than a flat fee.
  • PrivateLink costs $500/month per connection on Growth, and BYOC and uptime SLAs require Enterprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Artie?

Artie is a managed real-time data replication platform that uses change data capture (CDC) to stream database changes to a warehouse or lake. It advertises sub-minute latency and exactly-once delivery without requiring teams to run Kafka or Debezium.

How much does Artie cost?

Free is $0 per month for up to 1M billable rows and 2 active pipelines. Growth starts at $500 per month billed annually ($6,000 per year), or $600 per month month-to-month, and is usage-based. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Does Artie have a free trial or free plan?

Yes, both. Every new signup gets a 14-day Growth trial with no credit card required, and it starts when the first pipeline is deployed. Afterward, accounts within Free limits move to the Free plan automatically.

What sources and destinations does Artie support?

Sources include PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, MariaDB, CockroachDB, DocumentDB, PlanetScale, Supabase, S3, and Snowflake. Destinations include Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, ClickHouse, MotherDuck, Redis, and others. Oracle and SQL Server sources require Enterprise.

Does Artie affect production database performance?

According to Artie, ongoing replication load is minimal and usually lower than incremental batch queries or full-table scans, because it reads the transaction log. Historical backfills can run on a read replica to avoid load on production.

Does Artie store my data?

Artie says it is built so it never stores customer data. It reads from the replication log and streams to the destination, with credentials encrypted at rest and data encrypted end to end.

Is Artie compliant with SOC 2 and HIPAA?

SOC 2 Type II is included on all plans. HIPAA compliance is available on Growth with a BAA required, and is included in contracting on Enterprise.

Who is Artie best for?

Artie suits data and engineering teams that need near real-time replication from operational databases into analytics or AI systems. It is aimed at teams that would rather not build and maintain their own CDC infrastructure.
