How Python Data Engineers Use ingestr

Python data engineers use ingestr as a fast way to set up one-off or recurring data copies between systems — running `ingestr ingest --source-uri pg://... --dest-uri bq://... --table schema.table` from Python subprocess calls or shell scripts. For more complex transformations or pipeline logic, ingestr handles the raw ingestion while Python handles the business logic.
