In today’s fast-paced business environment, real-time decisions are the difference between leading the market and playing catch-up. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated batch processes, leaving teams to work with stale or incomplete data.
At Tessell, we’ve reimagined how data moves across systems with our Change Data Capture (CDC) platform — and through our collaboration with Microsoft Fabric, we’re making it easier than ever for businesses to tap into fresh, trustworthy data for current analytics and training AI models.
Why This Matters
Think about your business: every transaction, customer interaction, or operational update creates new data. But if that data takes hours (or days) to show up in your analytics tools, you risk missed opportunities and slower response times.
With Tessell CDC, businesses can:
- See changes as they happen – Data is captured in near real time from core systems.
- Keep analytics always up to date – Whether it’s financial dashboards or customer insights, the latest data is always available.
- Reduce costs and complexity – No more heavy, redundant data extracts or manual interventions.
This means your teams can make better decisions with confidence speed.
Powering Growth with Microsoft Fabric
Our close collaboration with the Microsoft Fabric team takes this to the next level. Fabric is already transforming how organizations manage and analyze data, and Tessell makes it effortless to bring your most important data directly into Fabric’s Lakehouse environment.
Together, we enable businesses to:
- Set up pipelines in just a few clicks – No complex coding or lengthy projects.
- Choose the right sync strategy – From real-time updates to scheduled refreshes, you stay in control.
- Accelerate innovation – Development and test environments in Fabric stay continuously refreshed, so teams can experiment without waiting on IT.
- Ensure security and compliance – With enterprise-grade encryption and access controls built in.
“Our migration of 500+ critical Oracle databases to Azure with Tessell was a major milestone in our transformation journey. Tessell’s managed service has already reduced complexity and costs, and we’re excited about what’s next. The new Data Ecosystem capabilities and Microsoft Fabric integration open up powerful possibilities for unifying operational and analytical data, and we look forward to exploring how they can help us unlock even greater value from our data in the future.” - John Maio, AVP, Data and Analytics, CSX Technology
End-to-End Flow of Tessell’s Data Ecosystem
Modern enterprises demand real-time access to data across diverse platforms. Tessell’s Change Data Capture (CDC) powered Data Ecosystem enables organizations to move data seamlessly from source databases into cloud-native data lakes and warehouses - without heavy batch jobs or manual interventions.
Data Capture at the Source
Tessell CDC continuously monitors relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle. Instead of querying entire datasets, it leverages database transaction logs to capture inserts, updates, and deletes with minimal performance impact.
Change Processing & Stream Handling
Captured events are processed in real-time through a scalable stream processing layer (Kafka). This ensures incremental loading—only the modified data is propagated—reducing redundancy and improving efficiency.
Schema & Data Transformation
As schemas evolve, Tessell dynamically adapts. Data is validated, errors are auto-corrected via retry mechanisms, and transformations are applied to make data analytics-ready before delivery.
Secure Data Movement
All captured data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. Role-based access control (RBAC), audit logging, and masking ensure compliance and governance throughout the pipeline.
Loading into Target Systems
Data flows into popular cloud data lakes (Amazon S3, Azure Fabric Data Lake, Google Cloud Storage) or directly into warehouses such as Snowflake or Databricks. Users can configure sync modes—async, near real-time, or scheduled—based on business needs.
Monitoring & Control
A unified Tessell console provides CDC setup, monitoring, and control. Users can:
- Test data syncs
- Choose sync granularity (entire DB, schema, or table-level)
- View status dashboards and alerts
- Pause/resume or delete CDC pipelines when required
