Sync SFTP to Apache Superset
SFTP
SFTP holds business data that teams need alongside the rest of their stack, whether that is customer records, transactions, documents or activity logs. Pulling it out for reporting normally means custom API scripts or one-off integration work. Peliqan provides a managed SFTP connector that syncs it into your warehouse automatically, with incremental updates and schema changes handled for you.
Apache Superset
Apache Superset is the open-source enterprise BI platform born at Airbnb, now widely adopted for self-serve analytics among data-driven teams. It supports any SQL-speaking warehouse and offers rich permissions and alerting. Peliqan provides the missing data layer by syncing SaaS and operational sources into the warehouse Superset queries, with managed connectors and incremental refreshes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect SFTP to Apache Superset?
Connect SFTP in Peliqan via OAuth or API key. Your data syncs into the built-in data warehouse, and you connect Apache Superset to that warehouse with standard database credentials. The full setup takes around 5 minutes, no coding required.
Can I connect multiple SFTP instances?
Yes, you can connect multiple instances of SFTP and unify the data, or you can customize field mappings for each connection.
How often does the data sync?
You control the sync frequency: as often as every 15 minutes on the Pro plan, or hourly, daily and custom schedules. Some source systems set their own limits – Exact Online, for example, defaults to every 6 hours.
Can I transform data during the sync process?
Yes. Transform data with SQL or low-code Python before or after it lands in the warehouse. You can clean fields, join across sources and reshape tables without touching the source system.
Is there a limit on data volume?
Peliqan handles enterprise-scale data volumes. Our distributed architecture processes millions of records efficiently with automatic scaling based on your needs.
What if I need a custom integration?
Our team builds custom connectors, typically within 2 weeks. You can also build your own pipelines with low-code Python.
