Summary

Customers have expressed a need to understand the approximate duration of the initial data sync for their sources. Providing an estimated time for the initial sync process would enhance user experience by setting clear expectations and enabling better planning for data integration workflows.

Objective

To implement a feature in Fivetran that provides users with an estimated duration for the initial sync of their data sources.

Detailed Description

Current State:

• Users initiate the sync process without an indication of how long it will take.
• The absence of time estimates can lead to uncertainty and inefficiencies in planning.

Benefits:

• Enhanced User Experience: Users can plan better around the data integration process with a clear understanding of the time commitment required.
• Resource Management: Helps in optimizing the allocation of resources during the initial sync.
• Expectation Setting: Reduces user frustration by setting realistic expectations regarding the sync duration.
