Embracing a Zero ETL Future with Open Arms
Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) is the process data engineers use to combine data from different sources. In a much simpler, non-technical term, ETL is like taking ingredients (data) from different places, cooking (transforming) them in a special way, and putting them together (loading) to make a delicious meal (analytical insights). With the emergence of near-real-time analytics and the concept of a zero-ETL future, the data world is undergoing a significant transformation.
