This projects competes with too many industries to really give a succinct answer, but here's just Extraction/Loading and Analyze:

The amount of hype and BS in the Notebook space would require me to spend some time combing through that again.

slap_shot, I agree and as I disclaimer I also work at GitLab. There is no shortage of data tools in the space today. A majority of my career has been spent in the data & analytics space and I've talked / worked with at least 60% of the companies you mentioned. At the end of the day, these are the questions I've asked over and over again.

1. Do we have enough money / budget for a tool like this? 2. Can we derive enough insights from this product fast enough to make a good ROI? 3. Does this tool use a proprietary language that no one wants to learn or can I code in a language that is relevant? 4. In all honesty, can I get insights faster in a spreadsheet than these tools? 5. What is the learning curve? 6. Can I answer the business question that was originally asked?

Open to more discussions around the topic as it is a lot harder to answer than a few philosophical questions, but it certainly resonates with many data & analytics professionals. A nice goal would be to have project where you can stand up a business, turn your data pipelines on, ingest the data, and view the insights needed to make a business decision all within a short timeframe of when a business goes live.
