What is XFlake and what does it do?

XFlake is a fully managed data migration tool from Xebia that transfers data from relational databases (RDBMS) — whether on-premises or in the cloud — into Snowflake. It provides a UI-driven configuration for defining source tables or custom queries, supports on-demand job triggers, and can scale for high-volume tables.

How does XFlake differ from other RDBMS-to-Snowflake migration tools?

XFlake is provided as a fully managed iPaaS offering with a self-service UI so minimal manual intervention is required. It emphasizes ease of setup (four simple steps), UI-driven configuration for flexibility (use table names or custom queries), on-demand job triggering, and the ability to scale for high-volume tables. The managed aspect means Xebia handles operational upkeep and scaling.

What technologies does XFlake use?

XFlake leverages PySpark for data processing and uses AWS services including Lambda, Glue, and S3 as part of its data pipeline and orchestration stack, with Snowflake as the destination data warehouse.

How do I install and start using XFlake?

XFlake is delivered as an iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service). The migration setup is described as four short steps: log in to XFlake, choose the data source/account/schema, provide the Snowflake destination account details, and start the data flow. For full onboarding and deployment details you should contact Xebia to arrange access and support.

Can XFlake handle large, high-volume tables and scale on demand?

Yes. XFlake includes the ability to scale on demand for high-volume tables so that large migrations can be accelerated when necessary. For exact scaling limits or to design a migration for extremely large datasets, discuss your volume and SLAs with Xebia.

Does XFlake require custom queries or can it migrate entire tables?

Both options are supported. You can define source tables by name for straightforward table-level transfers or provide custom queries via the self-serve UI for more complex selections and transformations prior to loading into Snowflake.

What security and compliance features are available during migration?

The page does not list specific security or compliance certifications. As XFlake uses AWS services and Snowflake, encryption-in-transit and storage-level protections are typically available. For detailed security controls, data residency, compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOC2), and networking options (VPC, private connectivity), contact Xebia to review architecture and contractual controls.
