Congrats on the launch! Since this is Go have you considered using CUE or looked at their flow package? Curious how you see it relating or helping with data pipelines.

thanks!

I did look into CUE in the very early days of Bruin but ended up going with a more YAML-based configuration due to its support. I am not familiar with their flow package specifically, but I'll definitely take a deeper look. From a quick look, it seems like it could have replaced some of the orchestration code in Bruin to a certain extent.

One of the challenges, maybe specific to the data world, is that the userbase is familiar with a certain set of tools and patterns, such as SQL and Python, therefore introducing even a small variance into the mix is often adding friction, this was one of the reasons we didn't go with CUE at the time. I should definitely take another look though. thanks!
