SnapLogic Fast Data Loader

In this section

Effective Sep 8, 2022, SnapLogic AutoSync has replaced Fast Data Loader. For more information, contact your CSM or support@snaplogic.com.

Overview

SnapLogic Fast Data Loader (FDL) is a data ingestion tool that simplifies the tasks of replicating data and synchronizing data for data analysts and business analysts. Using FDL, you can quickly load data from your cloud apps into a cloud data warehouse using a simple, no-code, point-and-click user interface. For example, you can source your customer data from Salesforce, service data from ServiceNow, business spend data from Coupa, and transactional and product usage data from cloud-based Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases and load all this data to your Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, or SAP cloud data warehouse so that the data is available for transformations within the cloud data warehouse and downstream analytics for further use.

You can find out about the FDL pricing on SnapLogic Community.

You can configure pre-built data integrations with the following endpoints.

Source data endpoints:

Destination data warehouses:

Key Features

  • Simple three-step process: select, load, and integrate without any coding. You simply configure your source and destination endpoints and then load your data.

  • Syncs large amounts of data from various sources, faster and at regular intervals.

  • Loads data to several popular cloud data warehouses.

  • Tracks data changes and schema changes, and performs incremental data loads.

  • Stores historical data using Slowly Changing Dimension Type 2 (SCD2) so that data changes are not lost.

  • Supports multiple data types.
