Detailed Comparison

Mara
Mara
ScratchDB
ScratchDB

A lightweight ETL framework with a focus on transparency and complexity reduction.

It is an open-source alternative to BigQuery, Redshift, and Snowflake. It is a wrapper around Clickhouse that lets you input arbitrary JSON and perform analytical queries against it. It automatically creates tables and columns when new data is added.

Data integration pipelines as code: pipelines, tasks and commands are created using declarative Python code.; PostgreSQL as a data processing engine.; Extensive web ui. The web browser as the main tool for inspecting, running and debugging pipelines.; GNU make semantics. Nodes depend on the completion of upstream nodes. No data dependencies or data flows.; No in-app data processing: command line tools as the main tool for interacting with databases and data.; Single machine pipeline execution based on Python's multiprocessing. No need for distributed task queues. Easy debugging and and output logging.; Cost based priority queues: nodes with higher cost (based on recorded run times) are run first.
Open source; Build analytics with zero infrastructure; Automatically create and optimize tables from JSON; Lets you stream data without a "CREATE TABLE"
