One of the side effects of this is that you can use GitHub actions to run data ETL pipelines and store the results in the same repo as your ETL code. No need to manage S3 credentials or setup a bunch of extra tools for many ETL jobs.

I wrote a quick tutorial on how that works here:

This is our starter repo if you want to try this yourself:
