Why the Future of ETL Is Not ELT, But EL(T) - KDnuggets

How we store and manage data has completely changed over the last decade. We moved from an ETL world to an ELT world, with companies like Fivetran pushing the trend. However, we don't think it is going to stop there; ELT is a transition in our mind towards EL(T) (with EL decoupled from T). And to understand this, we need to discern the underlying reasons for this trend, as they might show what's in store for the future. This is what we will be doing in this article. Historically, the data pipeline process consisted of extracting, transforming, and loading data into a warehouse or a data lake.
