Open source vs managed data quality
Elementary and GE vs a calm product layer.
The problem
Open source is powerful and unfinished ops. Someone still has to own alerting UX, calm routing, and morning triage.
The outcome
Use OSS where it shines; use VectorData for the calm operational layer on BigQuery + dbt.
OSS
Flexible
Managed
Operable

What you get
Still need a queue
Humans need Fix-first.
Cost monitoring rarely free
JOBS still matter.
Don’t romanticize toil
Cron is not a product.
