+Artie Transfer is a real-time data replication solution for databases and data warehouses/lakes.
 
 Typical ETL solutions rely on batched processes or schedulers (i.e. DAGs, Airflow), which means the data in the downstream data warehouse is often several hours to days old. This problem is exacerbated as data volumes grow, as batched processes take increasingly longer to run.

 - Sub-minute data latency: always have access to live production data.
 - Ease of use: just set up a simple configuration file, and you're good to go!
--  Automatic table creation and schema detection: Artie infers schemas and automatically merges changes to downstream destinations.
--  Reliability: Artie has automatic retries and processing is idempotent.
--  Scalability: handle anywhere from 1GB to 100+ TB of data.
--  Monitoring: built-in error reporting along with rich telemetry statistics.

-### Pre-requisites
-
-As you can see from the architecture diagram above, Artie Transfer is a Kafka consumer and expects CDC messages to be in a particular format.
-
-The optimal set-up looks something like this:
-* [Debezium](https://github.com/debezium/debezium) or [Artie Reader](https://github.com/artie-labs/reader) depending on the source
-* Kafka
-  * One Kafka topic per table, such that you can toggle the number of partitions based on throughput.
-  * The partition key should be the primary key for the table to avoid out-of-order writes at the row level.
-
-Please see the [supported section](#what-is-currently-supported) on what sources and destinations are supported.
