Hello Fivetran Team,

We’re interested in leveraging Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time data streaming into our analytics environment. SSE is a technology that allows a server to push data updates to clients over a persistent HTTP connection (via the EventSource API), eliminating the need for frequent polling.

However, we’ve discovered that Fivetran’s approach (including its SDK) is inherently batch-oriented, which means it processes data in discrete batches rather than maintaining a continuous stream. Because SSE is fundamentally a live stream of data rather than periodic chunks, it appears there’s no existing mechanism within Fivetran’s current SDK to capture and process these SSE streams in real time.
