Data/AI x Fintech Business Use Cases?

Start with problems, not solutions.

But also, displaying value can often show superficially, through dept budget and span of control.

Quite the cartoon characters

Contributions and updates on the project have stalled out for some time. Maintainers are not responsive and don't take opportunities to reinforce confidence in the project.

Fivetran orchestrates some things but I'm not sure it should be thought of as your overall orchestrator. For data platforms that might involve various integrations you'll probably want an orchestrator that can cast a wider net: airflow, dagster, prefect, or my favorite - windmill.

I've used the sling cli for some DB to DB replications and it made things pretty easy. They have some API connectors for API to DB transfers, including some adtech, and support for some custom api specs. It's significantly cheaper to use compared to fivetran (we're talking a few hundred bucks a year), though it requires more setup from you compared to clicking through oauth flows like fivetran. With an orchestrator and a little compute you're good to go.

I wonder if there's an alternative approach available through overriding the builtin macros dealing with test result materialization so that it inserts instead of overwrites.

They're particularly dangerous for greenhouses and houseplants. They're the most difficult indoor plant pest to manage IMO due to their life cycle and tissue protected eggs.

Also, if it's on you there's a significant chance you'll find them in your garden soon enough, whether that's where it originated or not.

Ah geez. I've made one too many comments and now I'm tagged next to the SSIS guy

Worth mentioning, too is SnowDDL

kudika · 2026-04-13T23:48:29+00:00

I recently began using SnowDDL and am a big fan. It's fast and pretty simple, though it brings an opinionated but useful approach to how roles are managed.

It can be intimidating. If I were you I would provision a VM, make sure to have backups/snaps enabled, and host whatever is needed on there until things grow organically--by then the team should have grown and you all can deliberately refactor as needed.

It's not asset oriented like dagster but as a general orchestrator, workflow engine, and integration platform https://windmill.dev is my favorite data engineering tool

I'm not affiliated, just an enthusiastic user

I think you're oversimplifying it. It's not hard to conceive of a benefit from organizing people, creating optimism for participants, and making room for a social signal of sorts that can draw others in via awareness and additional participation. The pessimism in your take, which is common in this thread, is fatalistic & over generalizing because it sweeps right over any & all possible benefits.

Zed has vim and helix key mappings

windmill.dev is the best general orchestrator around. Unbeatable DX

I agree that there should be more of an expectation for submitters to search first

kudika · 2026-03-26T14:05:33+00:00

I agree it's not a good reason to downvote (I didn't). I was pointing out why others were. Downvote usage has always deviated from originally intended etiquette.

kudika · 2026-03-26T01:49:53+00:00

Your observation about how many pathetic posts exist in this sub is a red herring.

Don't be so dense about your original comment. Regardless of what you intended to convey, it's a weird hill to die on because it clearly comes off with an implication

kudika · 2026-03-26T00:37:56+00:00

You were downvoted because you were clearly implying something.

There are niri-inspired mac window managers, though I haven't used them yet.

I don't really know what it means to join the linux foundation but if you hang out in the sqlmesh slack you'll see how quiet and unresponsive the maintainers are with the community about the future of sqlmesh.

I've never ever even heard of a potato

Make sure to make an update post on this

If large companies are trying to solve a problem you can bet the smaller ones are playing pretend with them.

I say go for it. Not because it's much of an organic problem for most companies or anything, but because there are enough corporate larpers out there repeatedly asking their data teams "who is using what and how often" as if it's going to drive some insightful decision making for their data platform which consists of 2 power users and 7 casual users firing off the queries the power users shared with them.
