CloverDX is a self-hosted platform for building, automating, and monitoring production data pipelines.
What CloverDX is
CloverDX is a self-hosted platform for building, automating, and monitoring production data pipelines. Users can develop pipelines visually and add code when they need more flexibility. Workflows support dependencies, error handling, and manual checkpoints, and can start from schedules, message queues, APIs, or detected files. Wrangler provides self-service data preparation; Data Manager supports data stewardship, master data management, and manual review of data in progress. The platform includes connectors, supports custom connectors, and lists REST, SOAP, and GraphQL protocols. It also offers Salesforce Bulk API connectors for large transfers and Salesforce SOAP API for lower-volume queries. Deployment options include on-premises, cloud, containers, and hybrid environments. A 45-day full-feature trial runs on the customer's infrastructure, includes support access, and has no data-volume restrictions. Pricing is on request; Standard, Plus, and Enhanced plans use an annual estimate from a calculator.
