What has happened in the Meltano universe in the last four weeks? We had much fun with our mapping feature, adding docs and examples everywhere.
We’re deep down in the works for Meltano Cloud, but we still shipped two major releases and a completely new website.
Let’s get to the details.
Cloud: you build pipelines, we keep them running!
Reminder: Sign up for the waitlist now to be among the first to try out Meltano Cloud! Private Beta already started two days ago! And Public Beta is still a month away.
Meltys shiny new home
We’re super excited to share the new branding & messaging for our Meltano website as well as for the Meltano Hub.
This is the culmination of months of hard work by our engineering, marketing, and design teams, so please check it out and let us know what you think (and if you spot any issues)! If you’d like to celebrate with us, spread the word (retweet).
What got shipped?
We shipped two major releases in the past 30 days, one for Meltano and one for the SDK.
We also took some time to get many things around the mappers straightened out. Mappers are your easy solution is to do small transformations on your data before having it land inside your data warehouse.
We got new docs and a long list of useful examples for mappers ready for you.
