meltano-examples

Examples of the many ways Meltano can be used to solve data engineering use cases.

Each example is a self-contained Meltano project you can clone and run locally.

Examples

Example	Category	What it demonstrates
hello-world	Utilities	Inline custom plugin with no hub lookup or pip install
csv-to-jsonl	ELT Pipelines	Extract from CSV, load to JSONL, display output with an inline utility plugin

Getting started

Prerequisites: Meltano installed (pipx install meltano recommended).

Each example follows the same pattern:

cd <example-name>
meltano install
meltano invoke <plugin>:<command>

Some examples may have additional steps — see the individual README for details.

Categories

As this repo grows, examples will span several themes:

• Utilities — custom and inline utility plugins
• ELT Pipelines — extractors, loaders, and meltano run pipelines
• Transforms — dbt integration and SQL transforms
• Orchestration — scheduling and Airflow/Dagster integration
• Custom Plugins — building and packaging your own Meltano plugins
