Looks great, congrats on launching!

I'm curious how you differentiate yourselves from Airbyte, which isn't really designed for reverse ETL but can be used for it. And do you ever see Castled supporting regular ETL?

Right now there is a lot of separation in the market between ETL and reverse ETL, but it seems like a pain to maintain separate tools when you could just do both in one.

The founding team of Castled comprises mostly founding engineers from HevoData, which is an ETL solution. Having built both ETL and Reverse ETL solutions from scratch, we have realized that the architecture required to support both ETL and Reverse ETL needs to be drastically different. Your cloud data warehouse is powerful enough to change the entire architecture of the product depending on which side of the pipeline the warehouse is on. So we believe you need different products to support both ETL and Reverse ETL. But agreed the same tool can provide both products.

I will have to check how airbyte supports both. Regarding Castled, Regular ETL is there in our mid term roadmap.

I think its still "coming soon"
