Fivetran Expands Connector SDK to Support Any Source With Native-Grade Reliability and Performance
OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 2, 2025--
Fivetran, the global leader in data movement, today announced that its Connector SDK now supports custom connectors for any data source. With this update, developers can build reliable pipelines for even the most specialized or homegrown systems, eliminating data gaps and making it possible to centralize all of a company's data in one place. This ensures that critical information — regardless of where it lives — can be used to drive analytics, AI, and business decisions with confidence.
With the Connector SDK, datateams can build reliable, secure pipelines for virtually any application, internal API, or legacy system. Developers write the logic in Python, and Fivetran manages the infrastructure, including deployment, orchestration, scaling, monitoring, and error handling. Most connectors can be built and deployed in just a few hours, without the need for DevOps support or custom infrastructure.
'When there isn't a prebuilt connector, most teams end up building and maintaining custom pipelines themselves,' said Anjan Kundavaram, Chief Product Officer at Fivetran. 'That DIY approach may seem flexible at first, but it often becomes a long-term burden with hidden costs in reliability, security, and maintenance. The Connector SDK changes that. Now, any engineer can build a custom connector for any source and run it with the same infrastructure, performance, and reliability as Fivetran's native connectors. It gives companies the flexibility they need without the tradeoffs.'
The SDK uses the same infrastructure that powers Fivetran's fully managed connectors. It handles retries, monitoring, and alerting to ensure data is delivered where it is needed, whether that is BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake or another destination.
'The SDK was a huge surprise in the best way. We expected to keep using Azure Data Factory for APIs because it was the only option. But once we saw what we could do with Fivetran's Connector SDK, everything changed,' said Babacar Seck, Head of Data Integration at Saint-Gobain. 'We can now build custom connectors in-house and respond to business needs much faster — all while seamlessly delivering data into Snowflake on Azure.'
Fivetran is showcasing the Connector SDK this week at Snowflake Summit 2025 (Booth #1809) and next week at Databricks Data + AI Summit 2025 (Booth #E4519), and highlighting how data engineers can build custom connectors to move data into their cloud destination for analytics and AI workloads.

MLB acquires stake in Jomboy Media to expand digital presence
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball has agreed on a strategic partnership with Jomboy Media and will acquire a stake in the company. The two sides announced the deal on Tuesday. Jomboy Media will be used across MLB's digital channels. MLB will also help grow Jomboy Media's other shows, including 'Talkin' Baseball,' 'Talkin' Yanks,' and 'The Warehouse Games.' Both sides are also expected to collaborate on IP growth and ad opportunities around MLB's key events, including the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby. According to the release, Jomboy Media set revenue and profitability records last year, and had more than 93 million engagements on social media. Jomboy Media was founded by Jimmy 'Jomboy' O'Brien and Jake Storiale in 2017. 'We have long admired the passionate fandom of Jimmy O'Brien and his unique ability to connect with baseball fans,' Noah Garden, MLB deputy commissioner, business and media, said in a statement. 'This partnership will ensure that Jomboy Media will have the resources and access to MLB intellectual property necessary to help it continue to grow. We are looking forward to bringing baseball fans more entertaining content to help further expand baseball's online presence and deeper the connection between our sport and its fans.' Jomboy Media's key property is 'The Warehouse Games,' a league modeled after classic backyard games. The series has nearly 400 million all-time views. 'I continue to be amazed by what our community enables us to do through their endless support. When we started talking about baseball on the internet, it was just a fun hobby. Our community is the reason we've been able to turn this from 'just a hobby,' into something bigger than we ever could've imagined,' O'Brien said in a statement. 'Partnering with MLB marks a huge moment for Jomboy Media, and through this partnership, we'll be able to give back to our community with storytelling that's deeper than ever before.' ___ AP MLB:

Meta is reportedly making a $15 billion bet on AGI
Meta is close to finalizing an almost $15 billion investment in Scale AI, the tech giant's largest-ever external investment, which would give Meta a 49% stake in the company, according to The Information. As part of the deal, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is personally assembling a team of about 50 people to help Meta supercharge its AI goals — specifically, to achieve artificial general intelligence — and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang is set to join that group once the deal is final, according to Bloomberg and The New York Times. AGI is the concept of AI that equals or surpasses human cognitive abilities, and it's something that nearly every AI industry leader is currently racing to achieve before their competitors. Bloomberg was first to report on the planned multibillion-dollar investment. Scale, the AI giant that provides training data to industry leaders like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, in April reportedly expected that its 2025 revenue would more than double year-over-year to about $2 billion. It's also currently planning a tender offer for employees and early investors at a $25 billion valuation. Meta has been concerned about falling behind in the AI race as competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft pull ahead. In May, Meta delayed the launch of its new flagship model, dubbed Behemoth, amid concerns about its capabilities compared to competing models, The Wall Street Journal reported. The company's investment in Scale AI is likely a bid to catch up as competing tech giants each choose one or more AI startups to back for greater chances of AI success, whether internally or externally. Amazon has invested at least $8 billion in Anthropic, the AI startup founded by ex-OpenAI research executives, and Anthropic's tech now powers Amazon's Alexa Plus. Google has given at least $3 billion to Anthropic, and the two companies share a significant cloud contract. Microsoft has famously invested at least $13 billion in OpenAI and currently gets a share of the company's revenue. Besides its forthcoming deal with Meta, Scale has spent the last few months leaning hard into deals with governments across the world, like a five-year deal with Qatar to provide automation tools for civil service, healthcare, and more. The company has said its work with countries in Asia and Europe could account for a big piece of sales coming up. And in March, Scale signed a multimillion-dollar deal with the Department of Defense for a flagship AI agent program for the U.S. military.
