A customer perspective from a mid-stage CFO: I like saving money, but prefer to pay for software solutions like this directly. I pay you, and you make sure this set of connectors {in and out} continues to durably work. Meanwhile, our engineers can focus on building our product.

This is something we will definitely offer as well, with an SLA. And because the maintenance is not only done by us, but the community as well, fixes will be propagated throughout all users much faster than if it has to go through customer support.

Open-source doesn't mean you can't have both. You can check how Databricks or Confluent are doing.

Couldn't agree more.

for me, work like ELT( https://fivetran.com or https://getcensus.com) are the type of work that no engineer in the world will get a promotion from.

data|software|back|platform|etc Engineer's time is better spend on something else than that.

Exactly!

Every engineers we talked to want it out of their plate. Which is why we believe it should be commoditized with an open-source standard.
