Ask HN: What do you use to move (copy) data between systems?

Do you centralize your data? Do you run an iPaaS of some kind? Do you like it?

Context: I'm currently in the middle of a project where I'm hooking up an ERP system (SalesPad) to an eCommerce website (WooCommerce) and I've found I need to move many different kinds of data between them (Inventory/Orders/CustomPricing/etc), and I haven't found a good tool so I started building one.

Has anyone else run into this? How did you solve it? Did you like your solution?

New Data Engineer, good learning resources?

Hello!

I just got a new job as a "platform" engineer, which looks like it's going to be a whole bunch of data engineering (i.e. getting data from point A --> redshift/etc). I come from primarily a webops/devops/sysadmin background, which means I've been feeling a little out of my depth on "what's all this data stuff and how does it fit together?". I'm curious for any good resources you may have.

Thanks!
