Airbyte to dlt in five days: how Yespark's CTO migrated ingestion without writing Python

Yespark, a European parking platform, underwent a strategic migration from Airbyte to dlt for data ingestion, led by their CTO who managed the transition in just five days without writing Python. This change was part of a broader evolution from using managed tools like Fivetran, to self-hosting Airbyte OSS, and finally to adopting dlt, which operates within their existing infrastructure. Each phase of their journey was marked by a trade-off between operational costs and financial expenses, ultimately leading Yespark to choose dlt for its seamless integration and reduced operational burden, as it functions as a Python library rather than a separate platform. The migration was methodical, ensuring stability and efficiency in data processing by incorporating Prefect for orchestration. Although the transition reduced the operational load, it required ownership of Python pipeline code, emphasizing that while dlt minimizes infrastructure demands, it still necessitates careful management of the pipeline code.
