Build or buy the replication layer?

Buy it for standard sources. Managed connectors are cheaper than the engineering time to maintain your own, and that time is better spent on the transformations that are specific to your business.

Who actually does the work?

A certified senior engineer, personally. There is no account manager layer and no junior delivery team. You meet the engineer who will do the work before anything starts.

What access do you need?

As little as possible, and read-only first. Every change goes through code review and Terraform, so there is a full audit trail, and you can revoke access the moment an engagement ends.

Data & Platform

Data Pipelines and ELT

The worst pipeline failure is the quiet one: replication stops, dashboards keep rendering yesterday's numbers, and somebody notices a week later in a board meeting.

Start with the audit

No sales layer, no juniors. You meet the engineer before anything begins.

// What is included

What you get

Replication from source systems with alerting on lag and failure
Transformations version controlled and reviewed like application code
Personal data handled deliberately at ingestion rather than cleaned up later
Backfills that can be run again safely without duplicating data

// How it runs

The sequence

01
Instrument
Freshness and volume checks so silence is not mistaken for success.
02
Codify
Move transformations into review and version control.
03
Recover
Make backfill and replay a routine operation.

Talk to the engineer who would do the work

A 20 minute call. You describe your setup, you get an honest read on whether this helps, and the top risks worth looking at first.
