🚀 Easy Deployment: Get started in minutes with Docker or deploy to AWS Fargate
🎯 Major Data Warehouses Integrations: Supports Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Postgres as sources and destinations
☁️ Multi-cloud: Send data from any cloud to any cloud. Amazon Redshift ➡️ Google BigQuery? No problem!
⚡ Automated Syncs: Schedule data transfers with automatic backfills and incremental loads
✨ Web Interface: User-friendly dashboard for managing syncs, built with React/Nextjs
🔌 REST API: Programmatic access to all Pontoon features, built with FastAPI

We built Pontoon because traditional APIs are becoming increasingly problematic at modern data scale:

Performance Issues: APIs struggle with large datasets and complex queries
Poor Customer Experience: Customers have to spend weeks building ETLs or pay for managed ETL tools
Rate Limits: Data workloads tend to be bursty, often triggering rate limits, resulting in a frustrating experience for everyone involved
Backfills: Backfilling historical data through APIs is inherently slow, as most APIs are optimized for real-time, not bulk ingestion

Pontoon solves these problems with:

Direct Warehouse Integration: Send data directly to customer's data warehouse. No more ETLs needed!
Scalable Architecture: Handle millions of rows efficiently. Say goodbye to rate limits!
Scheduled Syncs: Automate data delivery with automatic backfills on the first sync
Self-Hosted: Full control over your data and infrastructure
