EL is at our core. We currently use the Singer framework to enable reliable data replication, with features such as schema validation, incremental syncs, and an ecosystem with hundreds of connectors that are growing every day.
Built-in data replication capabilities do 99 percent of the work. With the growth, popularity, and maturity of frameworks and specifications such as Singer orchestrated by Meltano, most of the replication step is effectively commoditized.
dbt is the recent data transformations standard in SQL, so we provide support for dbt as a plugin, allowing for better communication between EL and T while also making it increasingly easy to get started.
Meltano can be self hosted so that you never send sensitive data through offsite vendor platforms. Filtering, selecting, and anonymization features help you avoid bringing sensitive data in the first place.
Meltano offers 300-plus connectors created by the open source community, with lots of plugins that are best in class and maintained by the community.
Tap into huge communities that are maintaining and making your pipelines better every day. Meltano will always be free open source.
You gain a comprehensive list of supported plugins for your whole data stack, from EL to dashboards and beyond—allowing you to use battle-tested open source tools easily.
Meltano is built with DataOps in mind. With everything as code for code review and CI, isolated environments are easy and support pipeline and data testing.
Plugins can be added, upgraded, and swapped anytime, making it easy for you to always stay up to date with the latest tools.
