Zero to Pipeline: When Data Connectors Just Work

Remember spending entire afternoons configuring data connectors, debugging OAuth flows, and writing custom parsers just to ingest data from a single API ? What if I told you that you could just say "add Linear as a source" and have your pipeline automatically discover the API, handle authentication, and start ingesting data no config files, no setup wizards ?

In this 30-minute talk, I'll show you the reality behind modern self-configuring ETL pipelines that sound too good to be true but actually work. We'll explore how intelligent data connectors leverage public APIs, MCP servers, and automatic credential management to eliminate the traditional pain points of data ingestion.
