singer-sdk VS meltano

Meltano can run any Singer tap or target, even if it's not discoverable out of the box. https://github.com/transferwise/pipelinewise-target-s3-csv is a pretty popular target for moving data to S3 as CSVs. Coupled with https://github.com/singer-io/tap-hubspot, https://meltano.com/plugins/extractors/quickbooks.html, and https://github.com/dcereijodo/tap-gsheets you should be able to get up and running. I'm not familiar with SnipeIT so I'm not sure if there's a tap for it, but we've been working on an SDK for Singer taps to make it really easy to build your own.

We're working on an SDK[0] for building taps that should make it much easier to build to the Singer spec with all of the features out of the box. In theory if you can write some python against whatever you're pulling data out of, then it can work within the Singer ecosystem and Meltano. It's nearly ready to go but we'd love feedback if you decide to test it out!

I would use something like meltano or airbyte, but if you really want to use Lambda for extraction I'd say there is no point spinning up a Redshift cluster just for that, Athena would be the way to go and you can use dbt pretty nicely with it and it would keep costs down.

Airbyte and Singer/Meltano if you want to learn more about ingestion pipelines. Airbyte and Meltano teams are very welcoming. SQLfluff a shiny SQL linter. Beautiful project with awesome maintainers.

I know really sure if this is what are you looking for, but take a look at Meltano

I'm not aware of any. I did just open this issue[0] in the Meltano project to open discussion with the team/community. It could be an interesting iteration on the Singer Spec[1] if we find that users are interested in it and it helps solve some bottleneck challenges.

Good point! As expected, there's an issue about adding it already: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/1175

At GitLab, we're not ready to give up on the Singer spec, community, and ecosystem yet, which is why I've been working on Meltano for the past year: https://meltano.com/

We think that the biggest things holding back Singer are the lack of documentation and tooling around taking existing taps and targets to production, and around building, debugging, maintaining, and testing new or existing high-quality taps and targets.

Meltano itself addresses the first problem, and provides a robust and reliable platform for building, running & orchestrating Singer- and dbt-based ELT pipelines.

At the same time, we have been working with some members of the community on a new framework for building taps and targets: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/2401, which we have decided to call the Singer SDK: https://gitlab.com/meltano/singer-sdk
