@aaronsteers thanks for the insights, will keep in mind the workaround with tap-smoke-test.
I am a data analyst on vacation ) and finally have time to implement a pet-project idea on how to curate thousands of incoming everyday messages (slack, messengers, emails etc.) via AI( aiming to gpt3 ). Started with PoC for telegram (extracting messages via
https://github.com/pyrogram/pyrogram) -python->JSON->PowerQuery (EXCEL). Already a great relief, using it every day ).
Now, in the second iteration, moving parts of the solution to meltano/airbyte etc. (probably meltano) + snowflake/spark(bitnami)/databricks/redshift (going to test it all) + dbt + power bi. In this second move the smallest iteration would be to use meltano to upload the JSON to the dwh's. In further iterations was thinking about implementing a tap for telegram with incremental capabilities yes.
