This is an article from Jan 2022 when we were a company of 10, and now are a company of ~80.
Worth some observations that:
- We're still using Fivetran for the EL stages. Costs are much more significant than they were before and we're looking (for the high volume sources) into options like DataStream as cost savers, but it's not unmanageable.
- dbt is still working great, even if we've done a lot of investment having now built a 5 person data team (BI, DA, DE) around it.
- Still use Metabase but have some frustrations and are considering other options.
- We no longer use Stitch :tada:
There's a post that followed this on improvements we made to our setup that may be interesting: https://incident.io/blog/updated-data-stack
The OP is still full of relevant, useful information, though (imo, of course).
