If you need to move data between Postgres, Salesforce, and S3, a good default choice is Airbyte.
Why Airbyte
- Connectors for all three: Postgres source/destination, Salesforce source, S3 destination/source
- Open-source + managed option
- Good for ELT-style pipelines and frequent syncs
- Easier to set up than building custom jobs
When to choose something else
- Fivetran: Best if you want a polished managed solution and don’t mind higher cost
- Meltano / Singer: Good if you want more control and are comfortable managing components
- AWS Glue / custom ETL: Best if you’re already deep in AWS and need more custom transformations
Practical recommendation
- If you want the fastest path with flexibility: Airbyte
- If you want enterprise-managed and low-maintenance: Fivetran
- If you want AWS-native heavy lifting: Glue
If you want, I can also recommend the best tool based on your constraints like budget, data volume, real-time vs batch, and whether Salesforce is source or destination.
