My thirty years of dodging repetitive work with automation tools
This article is a lengthy preamble to an advertisement for a SaaS product, but I'm thankful you at least get to a conclusion before the evangelism begins: there's a basic pattern here, i.e. "get data from X, transform it, and put it in Y", and the tools, systems, and platforms listed are all solutions to the same basic problem.I'm sure there's a use case and a market for this product, but I'd wager that I'm not alone among the HN audience in thinking that I'd rather have a couple shell scripts in a Docker container on my own hardware or whatever than spend a bunch of money irreversibly trapping my automations in some proprietary cloud-hosted thing where they can be held ransom come the renewal date.
