Show HN: Rsync.ai – self-hosted CDC and ETL/ELT, source-available (ELv2) (github.com)

Rsync.ai has launched a self-hosted, source-available AI data platform that simplifies the management of batch pipelines, change data capture (CDC), and scheduled models. Users can describe their data pipeline in plain English, and the system generates a planned execution that requires user approval before any data movement occurs. This platform supports various data movements across databases, warehouses, object stores, and APIs, featuring 21 connectors, including those for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and MongoDB, all packaged as versioned containers for easy management and updates. The significance of rsync.ai lies in its focus on user-driven data orchestration, combining moving and modeling data into a single tool while maintaining control for the user. Unlike managed ETL tools, rsync.ai operates on the user’s infrastructure, enabling customization and direct access to data keys. Its first-class treatment of both batch and CDC processes, as well as built-in features for data lineage and dependency management for SQL models, presents a streamlined approach to data workflows. This positions rsync.ai as a compelling alternative for organizations seeking flexibility and transparency in their data integration tasks without sacrificing ease of use.
