Blog post: Why GitLab is building Meltano, an open source platform for ELT pipelines

Proposal

Earlier today, I published a pair of blog posts on the Meltano blog to announce our new direction:

• Revisiting the Meltano strategy: a return to our roots
• Why we are building an open source platform for ELT pipelines

I would like for that second post to be cross-posted on the GitLab blog (since the "we" in "Why are we building..." really refers to GitLab), as a kind of follow-up to 2018's https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/08/01/hey-data-teams-we-are-working-on-a-tool-just-for-you/.
