I love these tools
- Linux terminal and Bash: pretty much automates anything.
- jq: to work with JSON in the CLI
- DuckDB: to work with small/medium data pretty much anywhere.
- Benthos: now Redpanda Connect, to move data pretty much from and to anywhere.
- GCP BigQuery and BigQueryML: exquisite architecture, astounding performance, probably too expensive for small companies.
- Python 3: it simply does the work.
