Extract, Transform, Load

Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) is a crucial process in data engineering that facilitates the movement of data from various sources to a target system. The ETL process consists of three main steps:

Extract: This initial phase involves collecting data from diverse sources such as databases, files, or APIs. The goal is to fetch the necessary data and prepare it for transformation. For instance, a business might extract sales data from a CRM system or social media platforms to analyze performance.
Transform: In this step, the extracted data is processed and transformed into a suitable format for analysis. This may include cleaning the data, filtering out unnecessary information, and applying business rules to ensure the data is accurate and relevant.
Load: Finally, the transformed data is loaded into a target system, such as a data warehouse or database, where it can be accessed for reporting and analysis. This step ensures that the data is available for decision-making and insights generation.

Understanding ETL is essential for organizations aiming to leverage data effectively for strategic advantages ²⁴.
