Consulting is becoming software.
Blog post from dltHub
Product consulting is evolving into software as dltHub introduces four Migration Blueprints—Python, dlt, Fivetran, and Airbyte—aimed at simplifying and accelerating the migration process. These blueprints leverage LLM-native tools to transform what were once multi-month projects requiring senior engineers into more efficient tasks completed in weeks at a reduced cost. The introduction of dltHub offers a solution to the rising costs imposed by ETL vendors, providing a balance between standardization and customization for data engineering tasks. The migration process is made more efficient by integrating a persistent context layer that retains crucial information across the entire pipeline, enhancing the output quality of coding agents like Claude, Cursor, and Codex. This shift in approach allows for more flexible and cost-effective migrations, enabling teams to overcome the financial barriers typically associated with switching ETL solutions while maintaining the customization of their existing code.
