EL is at our core. We currently use the Singer framework to enable reliable replication of data with features like schema validation, incremental syncs, and an ecosystem with hundreds of connectors that are growing every day.
Built-in data replication capabilities do 99% of the work. With the growth, popularity, and maturity of frameworks and specifications like Singer orchestrated by Meltano, most of the replication step is effectively commoditized.
dbt is the recent data transformations standard in SQL so we have 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 you never send sensitive data through offsite vendor platforms. Filtering, selecting, and annonymousization features to avoid bringing sensitive data in the first place.
300+ connectors created by the open source community, 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 core.
Comprehensive list of supported plugins for your whole data stack: From EL to Dashboards and beyond. Allows you to use battle-tested open source tools easily.
Meltano is built with DataOps in mind. Everything as code for code review and CI, isolated environments are easy, supports pipeline and data testing.
Plugins can be added, upgraded, swapped over time or anytime. Allows you to always stay up to date with the newest tools easily.
