ETL

Extract, Transform, Load

Definition

ETL is a data integration process that extracts data from source systems, transforms it into the target schema and quality standards, and loads it into a data warehouse or destination. Traditional ETL processes data in batches.

Tools like dbt, Apache Spark, and Fivetran implement ETL pipelines. ETL is the foundational pattern for populating analytics warehouses from operational databases.
