ETL is\nthe traditional approach to data integration. In ETL, data is extracted from\nsource systems, transformed into a consistent format, and then loaded into a\ndata warehouse or another target system. This transformation typically occurs\nin a dedicated ETL server or engine before the data reaches its final\ndestination. ETL is widely used when data quality and consistency are critical,\nand when source data needs to be cleansed, enriched, or aggregated before it&#8217;s\navailable for analysis.<\/span><\/p><\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top:0in;margin-right:.2in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;\nmargin-left:.2in;text-align:justify;line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:\n&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h1 style=\"margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:.2in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:\n.2in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><\/span><\/h1><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.5; font-size: large;\"><h2 style=\"margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:.2in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:\n.2in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:115%\"><span style=\"\">ELT\n(Extract, Load, Transform):<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/h2><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top:0in;margin-right:.2in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;\nmargin-left:.2in;text-align:justify;line-height:115%\"><span style=\"\">Basic data pipelines include a series of steps that\ntransfer data from a source to a destination, where it is received in a\npreprocessed or reformed condition.

An ELT\npipeline, unlike the basic pipeline techniques, extracts the data and puts it\ninto a target data store before converting it. This strategy has the advantage\nof allowing for quicker data intake while reducing the strain on the source\nsystems. The transformation phase procedures can then be carried out using the\ntarget data store once the data has moved from the source to the target in its\nraw form. Depending on the platform, it can simply modify the data using SQL,\nPython, or R since the target data repository is frequently a data warehouse or\ndata lake.<\/span><\/p><\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top:0in;margin-right:.2in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;\nmargin-left:.2in;text-align:justify;line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:\n&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h1 style=\"text-indent:.2in\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><\/span><\/h1><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;

In the integration process, data is ingested from diverse sources, with real-time and batch options. Storage in data warehouses or lakes follows ingestion, with technologies like Hadoop and Amazon S3. Processing involves cleaning and transforming using tools like Apache Spark, while analysis employs SQL, Python, or R. Visualization tools such as Tableau convey insights.
