Nice guide. One addition in the ingestion section: sling (https://slingdata.io/). it's a single go binary, cli-first.
Re:Ask HN: Is our data warehouse setup normal or over-complicated?
on Thursday June 18, 2026 @09:03AM (#48584677)
It does seem over-engineered.
Normally you'd keep all the transformation in one place in the "data warehouse", which could be Postgres/Redshift/Snowflake/Clickhouse etc. Using some el tools (like sling cli for example) to load into the DW, and then using a transformation tool (like dbt for example) to do all the transformations in SQL, source controlled. It's advantageous to keep all of the transformation logic in one place (to avoid mismatches as you've mentioned). And from the DW, after data is ready, various tools/clients can consume it (such as BI tools, CRMs, APIs, AI, etc). All aligned.

Awesome. If anyone is looking to mass ingest data into ducklake (databases or files), check out sling (https://docs.slingdata.io). It works great with MotherDuck as well.

Who else still listens to the StarCraft music OST? I listen to it a few times a year and get in the zone.

dbNet is a web-based SQL IDE using Go as a backend, and your browser as front-end. I built it because I was unsatisfied with the database clients out there. Alot of them are top-heavy, unintuitive, slow or expensive.
Here are some of the databases it connects to:
Clickhouse Google BigQuery Google BigTable MySQL Oracle Redshift PostgreSQL SQLite SQL Server Snowflake DuckDB
Re:Haiti’s President Is Assassinated
on Wednesday July 07, 2021 @06:20PM (#27766400)
My parents live in Haiti. This looks like it was an inside job/collaboration. He was assassinated inside his home, in the middle of the night. His home has multiple gates/barriers to get inside, very secured by guards, yet
only him died. No guards or 3rd parties were injured. No resistance or loud gun exchanges to prevent them from getting in. His wife was shot and injured, but is currently stable in a US hospital. From what I heard, the gunmen were all Spanish speaking. 5-7 of them arrived in multiple cars, killed him and left without issues. Very disturbing, but that's the world we live in.

Really cool.
Can you share on what lib/3rd party tool you use on the backend to send WhatsApp messages (such as the automated cart abandoned message)?

Awesome. Can you share with us how it's going with getting more clients on your platform to hire contractors? I know competing with upwork and toptal must be a challenge.

Seems the OP lacks objectivity, especially with the religious reference. With that said, I agree that telemetry should not be on by default, but prompted.
