  Coincidently, I saw a presentation today on a nice half-way-house solution: using embeddable Python libraries like Sling and dlt - both open-source. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAqOLgG2iYY There is also singer.io which is more of a protocol than a library, but can also be installed although it looks like it is a true community effort and not so well maintained.

• Data sources episode 2: AWS S3 to Postgres Data Sync using Singer

  Singer is an open-source framework for data ingestion, which provides a standardized way to move data between various data sources and destinations (such as databases, APIs, and data warehouses).

• CDC (Change Data Capture) with 3rd party APIs

  Or you could build your own such system and run it on Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, etc. Check out the Singer project for a suite of Python packages designed for such a task. Quality varies greatly, though. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Looking to build a database for BI reports

  This is good advice and I think Airbyte created a great product here. I tried singer.io and pipewise but Airbyte is much better in my opinion and I love the UI. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Recommendation for approach for populating and refreshing new data lake

• Now that Google Drive is starting to limit, what's your migration plan?

  Alright. Mind if I check with you a couple weeks from now to see how this turns out for you? I've never heard of box.com. I'm checking out their website now. Source: about 3 years ago

• What is everyone’s opinion on these demos getting leaked?

  You would be surprised how stupid Label employees can be, they even give stuff that is "confidential" to unpaid interns to post on their internal pages like box.com or their disco.ac pages.
