HN discussionBasically, reverse ETL, ie get data from the warehouse to operational platforms. The two big players are Census and Hightouch. https://www.getcensus.com/ https://hightouch.io/ Both offer no-code tools to help non-technical users make use of the data.

HN discussionCongrats! We at Hightouch [0] ("reverse ETL") are excited to see Airbyte here on HN. We've been following Michel & John for a while now since the YC days, and from the outside, it seems like they've been consistently shipping incredibly quickly ever sinec the open-source project launch. @mtricot -- You mention that a big value prop of Airbyte is providing an interface for building custom connectors. Have there been…

HN discussionParent didn't chose the best starting place to illustrate. Typically, reverse ETL starts with "all of my data is already in an EDW" and goes to "I want to push it to my various app systems." Canonical example: pushing system of record information to Salesforce to speed and enrich the sales cycle. https://hightouch.io/blog/reverse-etl/

HN discussionThis probably isn't the best place for an extended comparison, but since it's our launch post, I'll try to close the thread with a couple corrections for factuality. If anyone is interested in a deep-dive, email hello@hightouch.io, and I'm happy to set one up personally. And, I'm sure the team at Grouparoo would be willing to do the same ("contact us" at bottom of their website). * Add tags to contacts in mailchimp,…

on “Launch HN: Hightouch (YC S19) – Sync data from data warehouses to SaaS tools”Hightouch user here. HT actually has a lot of that - git integration [0], visual segmentation [1]. Not sure about self-hosting though. Open-source is cool, will check it out. [0]: https://hightouch.io/docs/integrations/git-sync/ [1]: https://hightouch.io/docs/hightouch-audiences/overview/

on “Launch HN: Hightouch (YC S19) – Sync data from data warehouses to SaaS tools”Cofounder here! Not quite. In Hightouch, you define your model (SQL) and create a sync (point-and-click or JSON/YAML). The syncs are declarative, not imperative. They don't map 1:1 to API calls by design. You tell us what you want the destination to look like, and we figure out how :). Kinda like how a database creates the best plan for your SQL query before executing it. Here's an example - https://i.imgur.com/05T5…

on “Launch HN: Hightouch (YC S19) – Sync data from data warehouses to SaaS tools”Great question! We have a whole page about this here ( https://hightouch.io/blog/hightouch-vs-census/ ). But the TLDR is that Hightouch has more developer focused features (like a live debugger, alerting, version control with Git, and more here: https://hightouch.io/data-features/ ), a dedicated UI for business users to visually filter models (called Hightouch Audiences), more transparent pricing, as well as more in…

on “Launch HN: Hightouch (YC S19) – Sync data from data warehouses to SaaS tools”Oh wow, this reminds of Hightouch ( https://hightouch.io ) and Rudder ( https://rudderstack.com ). It's interesting that all of these are positioned around data warehouses, which is generally very messy to deal with.
