Dagster Embedded ELT: Deep Dive

Embedded ELT:
You might not need Fivetran


Replace your most costly ELT jobs and simplify your stack with Dagster's embedded ELT.

Most data pipelines require data movement steps. While elaborate 3rd party services like Fivetran, Airbyte, or Stitch have become popular plug-and-play solutions, their cost tends to balloon over time. Often the value of these services is limited, especially when dealing with simpler tasks such as database-to-database replication.

Pedram Navid, Head of Data Engineering and DevRel at Dagster Labs, walks us through the newly released Embedded ELT feature in Dagster, which provides support for lightweight data movement libraries.

One organization saved $30,000 a year moving their database-to-database sync off Fivetran and onto Embedded ELT.

This session will benefit heads of data engineering or ML looking to improve the performance and reduce the cost of their data platform. More context on Dagster's Embedded ELT capability can be found in the Launch Week blogpost.
