Hey guys, not sure if this is the best channel but yesterday our team set together and collected some pain points around our Meltano usage. Since the ones we got were mainly related to singer taps I am going to post the feedback here. Maybe you guys ran into this already and have some resources / thoughts, can even point us to upcoming features or even tell us how we can support. If not, it maybe still helps for prioritization. Important note: Having these pain points does not mean that we are totally unhappy with Meltano. We see a huge potential which is why we want to give this feedback to you that you can see where we are struggling 🙂 I am going to post the pain points separately that we can have separate discussions in the threads:

Thanks for the feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to write all of this out 🙂 I left a reply in one thread but I think it addresses a few of these pain points. Overall we want the Hub and MeltanoLabs to help alleviate a lot of these issues. We've also hosted several Singer Working Group sessions to help with some of the spec issues -- if you have any spec suggestions or want to get involved in the discussion you can see what's being worked on here: https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/Singer-Working-Group

Hey Thomas! Thanks for sharing all this 😄 I’ll reply some more in the threads
Actually, I think Amanda has highlighted everything I’d want to. The SDK, Singer Working Group, and Hub are all efforts to address everything you’ve mentioned. The main challenge is that it’s not an immediate transition and it takes time for people to become aware of the tools available to improve the situation.
Is there anything else you think we could be doing to improve the ecosystem? Would love any suggestions 😄 We do have plans to grow the Meltano team to better help support the Singer ecosystem, but that too takes time.
