  Estuary Flow is a real-time data movement and transformation platform
  combining streaming infrastructure, a runtime, and an open-source ecosystem
  of connectors. It supports change data capture (CDC), SaaS integration,
  database replication, streaming lakehouse, and real-time analytics
  pipelines. Users build pipelines as captures, collections, derivations, and
  materializations - manageable from the web dashboard, the flowctl CLI, and
  a REST/agent API.
