What happened in the Meltano universe in the last four weeks? Everything is pointing towards the GA launch at the end of July!
Melty loves heavy metal
We know it’s all about connectors! That’s why we’re investing actively into the development of lots of great quality connectors. To make it easier for all of you, we’ve created a system to rate the quality of connectors into gold, silver & bronze.
Check out our Connector Quality Matrix for more information.
TL;DR: Gold is the best; you should use it if a golden connector variant is available. They have the best support & are tested in the field!
What got shipped?
We shipped one SDK release, v.0.28.0. Thanks to Matt Menzenski & AJ for their contribution. Matt also gave a great talk; look at the last section of this newsletter for more!
This SDK release added convenience features like a default Apache 2 license to new taps. It also now automatically validates records against the schema in standard tap tests.
