Reviewer scorecard
“Software-defined assets are the right abstraction. Better DX than Airflow with type checking and built-in observability.”
“Write analytics once, send to every tool. The destination catalog and identity resolution are genuinely valuable.”
“The asset-centric approach makes more sense than Airflow's task-centric model for modern data engineering.”
“Absurdly expensive at scale. RudderStack is the open-source alternative that does the same job.”
“Dagster represents the next generation of data orchestration. Asset-based thinking replaces task-based thinking.”
“Customer data infrastructure is essential but commoditizing. Segment's Twilio integration creates a unique data + communication platform.”
