They all promise to reduce your data engineering budget. The problem is that building a data connector is a one-time platform problem per data source. Once it’s solved; it’s solved. None of them solve the problem of ETL design and data warehousing design.
- edmundsauto 6y agoIt sounds like you don't think solving for data connectors + necessary maintenance has a lot of value. I would agree, not FTE levels of value, but most companies I've seen in the SMB space would do well to pay $1-3k per month to have their data all housed in one spot. That lets their 1-2 DS/DE/SWE spend their time actually analyzing the data. Maintaining connectors is also a good way to demotivate high achievers - better to have them further down the value funnel.
