Case Study: Niche.com achieves near real-time data access with Streamkap

How Streamkap Reduced Niche.com's Data Latency from 24 Hours to Near Real-Time

The customer Niche.com, a platform helping users find schools and neighborhoods, faced significant data latency challenges with its legacy pipeline. Their outdated system, which was unsupported and required internal AWS management, only moved a limited subset of data with delays of up to 24 hours. This hindered their ability to perform timely analytics. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor Streamkap and its change data capture (CDC) service for a real-time data streaming solution.

Streamkap implemented its platform in less than a day, eliminating the need for internal infrastructure management. The solution reduced Niche.com's data latency by 95%, moving from 24-hour delays to near real-time availability, and provided access to their entire dataset. This enabled faster, data-driven decision-making, improved reporting for new business offerings, and resulted in substantial cost savings, with the company describing the move as a "no-brainer."
