AI Analysis

●MidSlick

Query-as-pipeline is neat, but Fivetran and Airbyte already own this space.

Strengths
  • •Join Parquet files with live PostgreSQL tables in single query as stream source
  • •Runs locally or via Docker with no cloud dependency or vendor lock-in
  • •CDC captures binlog/WAL changes with pause/resume lifecycle tracking
Weaknesses
  • •Data pipeline space is extremely crowded — Fivetran, Airbyte, Debezium dominate
  • •Query-as-pipeline concept exists in dbt and materialized view tools already

Post Description

moving data between DBs still feels more manual than it should

most workflows look like: IDE -> export -> scripts -> pipeline -> CDC

so tried collapsing that into one tool:

query across PostgreSQL / MySQL / files use the query as a data source move it then turn on CDC

runs locally or via Docker

would love feedback, especially on: whether query-as-pipeline makes sense or if this just shifts complexity somewhere else
