Use DBConvert Streams if

It is a fit when

  • You move data between MySQL, PostgreSQL, files, and S3-compatible storage
  • You want one workflow for explore → load → compare → CDC
  • You want self-hosted control without standing up a Kafka pipeline
  • You want a desktop app or Docker, not a SaaS contract

Pick a different tool if

It is not for you when

  • You need 100+ SaaS connectors — Airbyte or Fivetran
  • You only need a SQL editor — DBeaver or DataGrip
  • You are Oracle / SQL Server heavy at enterprise scale — GoldenGate, AWS DMS, or Striim
  • You need Kafka-first event CDC — Debezium
