       | We were on Hacker News a few months back. Since then, developers
       | have been using the UI to set up automated data movement from
       | their databases to Mailchimp, Marketo, Salesforce, and more.
       | 
       | But we also heard that they wanted it more like their normal
       | development workflow. So we now make it even easier to sync data
       | to cloud-based tools via declarative data models and
       | integrations. With this, you manage data sync just like you would
       | any other part of your stack and Grouparoo takes care of getting
       | the right data to the places you want.
       | 
       | We're excited and around to answer any questions. - comments here

         | What are some of the typical scenarios you have seen? Any
         | unusual sources? How do you handle custom sources or
         | destinations?

           | There are usual suspects for sources. Databases (MySQL,
           | Postgres) and data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, RedShift).
           | 
           | Though data out is more common, we can also bring in data
           | from any given SaaS tool as well. For example, we have a
           | Mailchimp _source_ that will pull in people as they signup
           | through their form.
           | 
           | There is a plugin model and a few Typescript interfaces to
           | implement to be either a source or a destination.

             | Is it possible to pipe data through some intermediate
             | processing step? Say to normalize it? Or is it always
             | source directly connected to an output?

               | We can use any query to bring in and are considering
               | various ways to process it after that. That's in the near
               | term roadmap.
               | 
               | The main kind of "processing" that's done now is using
               | all these properties to calculate cohort membership (High
               | Value users) so that all these tools can use it: Zendesk
               | to route tickets, Marketo to trigger a campaign, even the
               | product to change their dashboard.
