A CLI and code-first ELT platform built by GitLab. Meltano uses the Singer protocol for data extraction and loading, integrating with dbt for transformations. It provides a declarative, version-controlled approach to managing data pipelines.
Python data engineers use Meltano to build end-to-end ELT pipelines managed as code — defining extractors, loaders, and dbt transformation steps in `meltano.yml`. The CLI is invoked from Python scripts or Airflow operators to run pipeline steps. Meltano's state management handles incremental extraction from sources automatically.
