A full history of DE should include some original low code tools (Cognos, Informatica, SSIS). To some extent, the failure of these tools to adopt to the evolution of the DE role has lead to our modern data stack.



Agreed. This is the first thing I thought about - the evolution from reporting systems to ETL code to Hadoop to Spark, etc.


Informatica and SSIS, in practice, in my experience, are not really low code tools.

I'd call them... GUI-UI based coding tools?
