Eric Anderson (@ericmander) and Douwe Maan (@DouweM) chat about Meltano, the open-source DataOps operating system. Meltano provides the connective tissue that allows teams to treat their data stack as a single software development project.

In this episode we discuss:

• Meltano’s origins as a side project at GitLab
• How Meltano glues together open-source technologies like Singer, dbt and Airflow
