👆 links to https://davidsj.substack.com/p/84bc1101-8dcb-4acc-b0d8-f25487045c43 as well which I want to think more about. There’s a piece missing from all of these integration points and it’s what Meltano is positioned to do well as discussed in our DataOps OS post:

Meltano currently adds value to its plugins in three areas. First by bringing in package management functionality that enables easy and automatic installation, configuration, and deployment. Second, by introducing critical DataOps capabilities that enable more effective collaboration, experimentation, and increased confidence in all output. And third, by creating meaningful abstractions and integrations between plugins that make it easy to create cross-plugin workflows with automatic data and configuration exchange. Taken together, this means that adopting Meltano as your DataOps OS and foundation of your data stack makes it greater than the sum of its parts.
