MyDataWork POV — While the trio of Fivetran, dbt, and Databricks Lakeflow presents a compelling vision of a seamless data pipeline, the reality is less clear. The claim of 'platform-native integrations' glosses over the potential complexities of aligning disparate tools, especially when it comes to streaming data replication. Without concrete examples of real-world deployments, the promise of 'off-the-shelf' functionality remains unproven. It's easy to tout integration, but the nuances of operationalizing such a setup are often where the challenges lie.
