Are There Bandwidth Limitations for Fivetran Hybrid Deployment?

Question

Can I limit or throttle network usage for data extraction and loading with the Hybrid Deployment agent?

Environment

Deployment model: Hybrid Deployment

Answer

Fivetran's Hybrid Deployment agent does not include a native setting for bandwidth throttling or throughput limits. The agent's data movement is governed by the network bandwidth available on the host infrastructure. Data moves directly within your environment (source to destination); the agent's connection to Fivetran is for metadata and logs only.

To restrict bandwidth, apply traffic shaping at the infrastructure level. Approaches include:

• Linux tc (traffic control) utilities on the agent host
• Network-level Quality of Service (QoS) policies
• Rate limiting through firewalls or proxy appliances

We recommend involving your networking team to implement bandwidth controls specific to your requirements.
