Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- Idea: ship declarative source templates for a single customer segment.
- Idea: add schema-change alerts and destination cost estimates to the pipeline UX.
Tradeoff to consider
Declarative pipelines simplify ingestion code but still require careful handling of evolving schemas and destination behavior.
Starting route
Install dlt and complete the README pipeline against a local or disposable destination.
