A quiet revolution is reshaping enterprise data engineering. Python developers are building production data pipelines in minutes using tools that would have required entire specialized teams just months ago.The catalyst is dlt, an open-source Python library that automates complex data engineering tasks. The tool has reached 3 million monthly downloads and powers data workflows for over 5,000 companies across regulated industries including finance, healthcare and manufacturing. That technology is getting another solid vote of confidence today as dltHub, the Berlin-based company behind the open-source dlt library, is raising $8 million in seed funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners. What makes this significant isn't just adoption numbers. It's how developers are using the tool i [...]
