I always install https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-redshift-utils/tree/master... on my Redshift clusters.

What you are describing as code reuse exists for databases, but they are called applications and generally utilize a general purpose programming language. It doesn’t make sense to have a SLA data model library because every use case is different. It’s a database, not procedural code.

You must have not seen enterprise apps.

There's a reason monstrosities like SAP exists, they're practically what you describe.

If stuff like SAP is the future of Line Of Business (LOB) apps, instead of having a rich Open Source ecosystem of data storage and data access libraries, then we've lost.

We're locked in the trunk.
