Toby and the team at Tobiko really are a pleasure to work with. They have strong opinions but have shown a good amount of willingness to implement features as long as there's a strong general use case. We've been working with them for almost a year now and it's really interesting seeing a early-ish open source library being developed by a start-up develops (and how much influence you can have over the direction if you work closely with the dev team).

that's great to hear. it mirrors my observational experience from being in their slack channel. i'm aware of the technical risks of being an early adopter of a product like this, but i must say part of me is excited to be on board early to help to shape it from a user perspective. i'm still not totally bought in yet (still in mvp phase) but our use case as we scale almost requires multi-engine execution (athena, spark on EMR, duckdb) and it doesn't seem like anyone is doing it better.
