Overview

Bracket is a two-way data pipeline between business tools and backend databases. It keeps records synchronised in both directions between tools such as Salesforce, Airtable and Google Sheets and databases such as Postgres and MySQL, so ops teams work in their existing tools while engineers build on the database. It is positioned as a Heroku Connect alternative.

Best for: Engineering teams keeping Salesforce or Airtable records in sync with a Postgres database.
Pricing: No prices are shown; the text only claims Bracket is far cheaper than Heroku Connect, which it says can exceed $50k a year.
Runs on: Web

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

Two-way sync, so tool edits and database edits both propagate
Connects Salesforce, Airtable, Google Sheets, Postgres and MySQL
Works with any hosted Postgres, not only Heroku Postgres
Removes the need for engineers to work against the Salesforce API

Trade-offs

Listed as acquired, so current availability and support are unclear
Three-person team, so roadmap and support capacity are limited
No published prices; cost is only described relative to Heroku Connect
Connector coverage beyond the few named tools is not specified
