airbyte VS meltano

I'l also give a shout-out to Airbyte (https://airbyte.com/), with which I've had some limited success with integrating Salesforce to a local database. The particular pull for Airbyte is that we can self-host the open source version, rather than pay Fivetran a significant sum to do this for us.

It's an immature tool, so I don't yet know that I can claim we've spent _less_ than Fivetran on the additional engineering and ops time, but it feels like it has potential to do so once stabilized.

When it says "available in open source", is that under the main airbyte repo's licensing [1], hence primarily licensed under the Elastic License v2 and therefore not typically considered open source by many?

Airbyte has previous of advertising their offering as open source while not really being as per the OSD[2]. This has been raised with them previously but without response [3][4]. They've also been extending their use of ELv2, recently moving many of their existing MIT licensed connectors to be ELv2 [5].

As possible solution, I can suggest Airbyte(https://airbyte.com/). it's more performant than generic python script.

Airbyte, an open-source data integration engine that offers hundreds of connectors with data warehouses and databases, has gained popularity for its seamless integration and data syncing capabilities. Xata's integration with Airbyte offers a streamlined data ingestion process from any Airbyte input source directly into your Xata database.

You can try and contribute some new connectors/operators for workflow managers like Airflow or Airbyte

We'd love to hear what you think of Meltano (Cloud). If you join the Beta, you get 100 free credits (200 hourly or 100 daily runs) and a 20% discount on the pricing at GA (June 27). The first 100 to sign up get 1,000 credits -- that's 83 days of hourly runs or 3 years of dailies!

The team and I will be checking in here throughout the day, so don't hesitate to ask questions! If we don't get to you, feel free to join 3,500+ Meltano fans on https://meltano.com/slack and we'll chat there!

Meltano[0] might be of interest to you. Easy way to move data that should be very familiar for software engineers. If a connector doesn't exist our SDK makes it easy to build it.

(disclaimer - I work at Meltano)

We currently don't do any process optimization on a per-stream basis when doing an extract. We have seen folks in the community running each tap separately for each stream which can speed it up. We've got an issue around this (Melturbo).

Meltano

I built my data pipeline to Extract some data from websites and CSV files, Load it into my database, and Transform it into a reporting-ready schema. I used Python and Pandas to extract and load some of the data and Meltano to load some additional supporting data. All of that data went into a PostgreSQL database hosted in the cloud on Azure where I then used dbt to create data models in the database optimized for reporting. Finally, I use Metabase to visualize the data. (whew! that's a lot of moving parts!)

I'm learning https://meltano.com/ right now, so am building custom Taps, mostly for fun. I'm enjoying it. I'm pulling in a variety of data from https://www.geonames.org/ and Canadian weather/climate data into BigQuery

https://meltano.com/ is ELT but I like it
