There are thousands of active Meltano projects in use today.
History
Meltano was founded inside GitLab in 2018 to serve the GitLab Data Team. Meltano started as an open source tool built for GitLab's data and analytics team, who wanted an end-to-end data platform built around open source components and DevOps principles.
In 2020, the project strategically pivoted to focus on open source data integration (ELT).
In 2021, after 3 years of being a GitLab incubator project, Meltano spun out of GitLab and raised a seed funding round[1] to become an independent startup and bring the benefits of open source data integration and DataOps to a wider audience.
The name Meltano is an initialism of the different parts of the data lifecycle as we saw them when the platform was created- Model, Extract, Load, Transform, Analyze, Notebook, Orchestrate.
