Overview
Upsolver SQLake is a cloud-native platform for continuous ingestion, transformation and optimization of streaming and batch data delivered to your Iceberg lakehouse, data warehouse and other popular analytics systems.
With only SQL, users develop, test and deploy pipelines in minutes instead of weeks. SQLake automates time-consuming tasks such as job orchestration and scheduling, file system optimization, data retention and the scaling of compute infrastructure.
Key capabilities:
-
CONNECT: With only a few clicks or lines of SQL, connect and replicate data from popular streaming, file and database sources like PostgreSQL, SQLServer and Kinesis to Iceberg or warehouse tables.
-
ICEBERG LIVE TABLES: Simply define the transformations to perform on the data and Iceberg Live Tables manages task orchestration, scaling, data quality validation, schema evolution and file system optimization.
-
ADAPTIVE ICEBERG OPTIMIZER: Connect Upsolver to your existing Iceberg lakehouse and see query performance increase while storage costs decrease, without lifting a finger. Adaptive Optimizer profiles data files and write patterns to determine which files, how frequently and what technique to use to optimize for best possible results.
-
DATA OBSERVABILITY: Automation often creates a blind spot, but not with Upsolver. Built-in task monitoring and data observability allows engineers to alert on and pinpoint operational and data related issues like volume changes, data value drift and schema evolution.
Highlights
- Write a query, get a pipeline - Replace complex, code-intensive data engineering with SQL. Using SQL any user can easily create, transform and publish new datasets in minutes.
- Automated - SQLake automates orchestration, file management - compaction, partitioning, data retention, cleanup etc. - and elastic scaling.
- Predictable pricing - pay only for data volume ingested, transformations are free!

Customer reviews
Allows for data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies
What is our primary use case?
I am working as a consultant and currently have my own consultancy services. I provide services to companies that are data-heavy and looking for data engineering solutions for their business needs.
We primarily serve financial service customers in India and around the globe. We use Upsolver as an ETL tool to move data from different sources into one destination quickly and at scale.
What is most valuable?
The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies. Upsolver does this in a quick time, unlike traditional processes which are time-consuming.
Additionally, it offers scalability for large volumes of data, with performance and ease of cloud-native integration.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in query tuning. Upsolver could do a more in-depth analysis in employing machine power, such as CPU and memory, to enhance query performance.
Furthermore, allocating CPU and memory resources for complex queries could improve efficiency.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started using Upsolver from the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Upsolver's scalability is rated around eight out of ten. It performs well with large volumes of data and is designed for cloud-native applications.
How are customer service and support?
Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten. They offer quick support in the Asia region and have multiple support centers globally. They maintain regular communication with customers through webinars and are very connected.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In Fidelity, I used different data products like Snowflake. We used other ETL tools to move data across platforms. I did not use Upsolver there since it was not mature enough at that time.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is relatively easy, rated nine out of ten. It is cloud-based, eliminating the need for installation on a local system.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year. Compared to what I know from others, it's cheaper than many other products.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Upsolver nine out of ten overall.
It works well for medium to enterprise-level customers. If a company is managing a heterogeneous data environment, Upsolver could be beneficial, but smaller companies with simple needs might not receive as much value.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Provides ETL tools with stability at a competitive price
What is our primary use case?
When I test-drove Upsolver for a consulting company, I used it in POC to stream and ingest data. The goal was to move data from a source, possibly SQL Server, into a destination like Snowflake or Redshift. The POC aimed to evaluate Upsolver against StreamSets, the competition for ETL tasks. The use case involved data aggregation, ingestion rules, landing data into a data lake, and handling ETL processes for a data warehouse.
How has it helped my organization?
It has simplified prices, time to set up, and ease of use.
What is most valuable?
It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality. Some customization was available, and I attended developer training that allowed me to explore it in more depth. At the time of my evaluation, features like iceberg tables were not present on the platform but are now included based on your current website.
It was easier to use than the competition. I liked the real-time ingestion and transformation features. The wizard-based guidance was particularly notable.
What needs improvement?
Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Upsolver since 2020.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There were no stability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is very scalable. We didn't foresee any issues.
How was the initial setup?
Some prior knowledge is helpful. A novice user might still encounter confusion, especially if they skip steps during tenant setup and run into permissions errors.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It was competitively priced and within the customer's budget.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend test-driving it for ease of use and peace of mind. If you’re exploring ETL tools and want to guide your curiosity and market survey, it's a good idea to leap for a test drive.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Great Tool to Setup Data Ingestion pipeline
An ETL tool which facilitates data ingestion
* UI simplicity
* Support team availability & professionalism
* Couldn't find a simple login page;)
As a startup - upsolver offers a great platform to transfer , manage and transform data at ease!
The best feature, In my opinion, is the fact that I can duplicate a "Flow" and send it to another destination.
