Why You Should NOT Build Your Data Pipeline on Top of Singer
Singer.io is an open-source CLI tool for data integration, but its use case does not align with programmatically sending data from any supported source to any destination. The lack of configuration declarations and absence of a way to determine which features are compatible with each integration make it difficult to leverage Singer in this manner. Additionally, the presence of experimental features within the protocol raises uncertainty about compatibility with other systems. While Singer is not suitable for these specific requirements, its core protocol remains valuable for data integration tasks.
