Case Study: Billie achieves up to 20% warehousing cost savings with Fivetran

Billie saves up to 20% warehousing cost with Apache Airflow and Fivetran

Billie, a Berlin-based fintech company, needed a more efficient way to manage data ingestion and orchestration for its Snowflake-based analytics stack. Using Fivetran to copy data from sources such as Salesforce, MySQL, NetSuite SuiteAnalytics, DynamoDB, and Google Sheets, Billie wanted greater control over timing and dependencies for its ELT workflows without taking on the burden of manually managing pipelines.

With Fivetran and Apache Airflow, Billie orchestrated syncs and transformations to run more frequently during business hours and less often overnight, while using sensors to ensure data was fully loaded before reporting. This approach reduced Snowflake compute costs by up to 20%, enabled time-critical reports to be delivered accurately and on time, and freed engineering time for more advanced analysis and innovation.
