What is Stitch from Talend?

Stitch, or Stitch Data, now from Talend (acquired in late 2018) is an ETL tool for developers; the company was spun off from RJMetrics after that company's acquisition by Magento. Talend describes Stitch as a cloud-first, open source platform for rapidly moving data. It is available on a Free plan, and also a Standard and Enterprise plan which include more advanced features (e.g. an account manager, multiple data destinations, HIPAA compliance, advanced scheduling).

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Stitch from Talend to get data from a variety of platforms into our data warehouse without having to deal with APIs (as I am not a developer). There are many integration options and data is able to be imported into our data warehouse without the need for heavy lifting on the development side. We then use the integrations within Stitch from Talend to get data from the data sources to our data warehouse, GCP BigQuery.

Pros

  • Integrations
  • Customer Support
  • Set up and management
  • Pricing
  • Transparency

Cons

  • Annual vs. Monthly Contracts
  • Version control for Integrations
  • Documentation
  • Communication of deprecations/upgrades that require work/adjustments

Return on Investment

  • KPI Management
  • Data Visualization
  • Data sanitization/normalization
  • Ease of ETL process

Pros

  • Stitch is good at replicating relational databases. It manages the conversion of data types and schemas, and it is capable of incremental replication.
  • Stitch's UI makes it easy to configure which tables should be replicated, and how they should be replicated.

Cons

  • Stitch is not good at replicating document stores like MongoDB to relational databases. To be fair, this is a difficult task. Stitch flattens the objects, but the result is unwieldy.
  • Stitch cannot replicate the same source to multiple sinks, which is inconvenient if you want to replicate some of a datastore's tables to Redshift and others to Redshift Spectrum, for instance.

Return on Investment

  • Stitch manages replication of transactional datastores to our data warehouse. Our data and business intelligence teams need this data to be replicated. Stitch allows our data engineers to focus on our product.
