I can't tell if this is envy or scorn
- benjaminwootton 3y agoI don't think it's either. Modern Data Stack is a set of characteristics - cloud based, SaaS, consumption based pricing, ELT bias, open source bias, component based etc. AirByte is all of them. It's just a fact rather than a criticism.
- staticautomatic 3y agoI think this is fair and I don’t doubt that AirByte jumped on the MDS marketing bandwagon, but the fact that their pricing isn’t inscrutable sets them apart in my view.
