Why HN links it

Linked by one HN commenter as a see-also next to data-stack tools (StarRocks, RisingWave) in a thread on a local Dagster, dbt and DuckDB stack. The linked post covers moving from BI to data apps.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
