Yay! Excited to see DataChain on the front page :)

Maintainer and author here. Happy to answer any questions.

We built DataChain because our DVC couldn't fully handle data transformations and versioning directly in S3/GCS/Azure without data copying.

Analogy with "DBT for unstractured data" applies very well to DataChain since it transforms data (using Python, not SQL) inside in storages (S3, not DB). Happy to talk more!
