Starlake OSS - Bringing Declarative Programming to Data Engineering and Analytics
Introduction
The advent of declarative programming through tools like Ansible and Terraform, has revolutionized infrastructure deployment by allowing developers to achieve intended goals without specifying the order of code execution.
This paradigm shift brings forth benefits such as reduced error rates, significantly shortened development cycles, enhanced code readability, and increased accessibility for developers of all levels.
This is the story of how a small team of developers crafted a platform that goes beyond the boundaries of conventional data engineering by applying a declarative approach to data extraction, loading, transformation and orchestration.
