aleandros··on Launch HN: MovingLake (YC S22) – Real-time data connectors for almost anything
An event would be any change in the representation of an individual entity in the data. We understand that it's not trivial to estimate the overall cost, so we offer a free evaluation period so customers can estimate how much will they be spending monthly.

That's great feedback, thanks!

Thanks, that’s a great idea once we get the on-prem version ready!

We just removed them! But we will be uploading real testimonials soon! Again, thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! Just an FYI, the google sheets destination is great for getting started but we support several destinations for more advanced usage and workflows.

Regarding pricing, you are mostly right. It is connector-dependent and volume based. Most of our connectors are charged at $0.00004USD per event.

Thanks a lot for bringing this up! Yeah, you are right. Those were meant to be placeholders, not to mislead customers but should not be there. We’ll make sure to remove them!

The target account would need to allow explicit access to our account via an AWS policy. See the docs: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/cross...

This is actually the approach we take for connecting to Google Services.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. You are absolutely right regarding the AWS credentials. We aim to fix it as soon as possible. And thanks a lot for pointing out the problems in the documentation. We we'll work on them ASAP!

Thanks Daniel! We have solved this before at our previous jobs several times, so we are thrilled to help other companies with this.

We completely understand. We don't support it right now, but we built the product to be completely cloud native so this is straight forward for us to implement. But yeah, it's definitely in our roadmap.

Thanks a lot for the comment Fiahil!

All of this is in our roadmap so we are glad to hear that we are on the right track. However we would love to know more about your last point. If you can email us to andres@movinglake.com and edgar@movinglake.com so we can discuss it, we would greatly appreciate it!

Hi Max, thanks a lot for the interest!

Pricing is connector-dependent and volume based. Most of our connectors are charged at $0.00004USD per event. You could email us to andres@movinglake.com and edgar@movinglake.com so we can discuss if we are a good fit for your needs.

Yes, the idea is for it to be a no-code solution. We completely understand why some people would like to this work in-house, specially for simple use-cases such as the one you mentioned.

Hi Timja, sorry about that! We have been so focused on this for the past months that is easy to loose perspective.

Data connectors, in the loosest definition possible, is simply a piece of software that moves data from one place to the other. This can be from database A to database B or (as in our case) from a given API into a database.

ETL stands for "Extract, Transform, Load", a process in which you get data from some place, clean it/do something with it, then store it into a desired destination. Probably this term is most frequently used in the context of data warehousing, in which you move data from one or more OLTP databases from the application side, into an OLAP database.

Finally, Snowflake is a very popular (and very cool) database focused on Data Warehousing needs.
