Definition
Extract, Transform, Load - a data integration process that extracts data from sources, transforms it to fit operational needs, and loads it into a destination system.
Overview
ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) is a fundamental data integration pattern. The Extract phase pulls data from source systems. The Transform phase cleans, validates, and restructures the data according to business rules. The Load phase writes the transformed data to a destination like a data warehouse. Modern variations include ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) where transformation happens after loading, leveraging the processing power of cloud data platforms.
Why It Matters
Poor ETL processes lead to stale data, inaccurate reports, and delayed decision-making. In regulated industries, ETL failures can result in compliance violations and financial penalties.
