ETL, As We Know It, Is Dead
It’s a new world—again. Data today isn’t what it was five or ten years ago, because data volume is doubling every two years. So, how could ETL still be the same? In the early ‘90s, we started storing data in warehouses, and ETL was born out of a need to extract data from these warehouses, transform it as needed, and load it to the destination. This worked well enough for a time, and traditional ETL was able to cater to enterprise data needs efficiently.
