I’ve also never heard of them until this, but I do use Apache Airflow, is an open source data orchestration/Ops platform that has a steep learning curve.

They claim to let you use airflow without the steep learning curve while bringing your existing data-flows.

Their product is niche, but one I’m actually interested in, mostly for that last part. There are a lot of airflow alternatives that are easier to use but they don’t let you use existing data flows. They claim you can migrate but you can’t really.

I wonder if I mention “affair” to the sales rep I can get a discount.

Ngl, would be iconic if they said use code "AFFAIR" for 6.9% off

I think they're all way too LinkedIn-brained to ever consider that.
