Speaking of our connectors: We have new reverse ETL performance benchmarks 🎉

When it comes to reverse ETL powering your business critical operations, speed matters.

That’s why we’ve been working on the industry’s first reverse ETL performance benchmarks across event, CRM, and marketing syncs.

We wanted to tease the results here in our product update, but we’ll release a new post on our blog every week with the full results (and you can catch part one on event syncs here). Needless to say, we’re super excited about this work and we’ll continue to push the limits on reverse ETL performance through and beyond this benchmark series.
