Most real-time ETL tools rely on pipelines, jobs, and streaming engines to move data, which makes them complex to build and expensive to operate. Tabsdata takes a different approach: it uses tables as the unit of propagation, automatically updating downstream tables whenever upstream tables change. There are no DAGs, no orchestration layers, and no streaming infrastructure to maintain. Because all tables are versioned and consistent, Tabsdata delivers real-time data with built-in lineage, reproducibility, and far lower operational overhead than traditional real-time systems.
