Bespoke ETL Scripts

Retired

No longer on the radar

We removed this entry in the September 2026 release. Retiring is not a recommendation against it — it means the radar no longer needs a separate opinion here. The write-up below is kept as it was last published and is no longer maintained.

Overview

Bespoke ETL scripts scattered across cron, laptops, and unmaintained repos block lineage, testing, and AI-ready data contracts. They are a leading source of silent data quality incidents (dbt).

Hold for new integrations. Replace with dbt, Airflow, or Dagster assets with tests, ownership, and catalog registration.
