Estuary Flow is a fantastic addition to the market with its ability to backfill data for large tables and stream data in real-time.
However, I have some concerns about data security and pre-built connectors. Despite this, Estuary Flow remains a robust Real-Time Data Platform with advanced features that can streamline data processing workflows.
Congratulations on the launch, and I'm eager to explore further!
@srprs Thanks! Data security is of course a wide and deep topic, but a quick couple of top-of-mind points:
- Flow is designed to store all data in your infrastructure: your cloud storage, your databases, etc. Our managed service _moves_ data but doesn't persist extra copies outside of your systems.
- All credentials are protected using Mozilla's [sops](https://github.com/mozilla/sops) tool, within both our UI and CLI. If you want to, you can even set up your own KMS for key management.
Regarding connectors, our central focus is to offer and enhance a wide catalog of ready-to-use connectors. Flow is built such that connectors are light-weight plugins: it's pretty easy to put together a basic connector. In the future, Flow will let you bring your own connectors for bespoke or in-house systems you want to integrate.
We think _most_ users just want a good out-of-box experience when connecting the systems they use, but we don't want to get in the way of power-users who want to create custom integrations!
