Meltano’s Mission and Vision

million pipelines

Our mission is to enable everyone to realize the full potential of their data

When we say “everyone”, we mean it—from massive enterprises to small startups to individuals. We’re referring to those who may one day pay us as well as those who will likely never be able to. We’re including solo founders, one-person IT or dev teams, curious hobbyists, and multidisciplinary data teams as well as weathered data profession veterans.

Our vision is for Meltano to become the foundation of every team’s ideal data stack

We are building an open source DataOps infrastructure that will bring the benefits of software development best practices such as DevOps and open source to the entire data lifecycle.
