ETL and Data Warehousing Explained: ETL Tool Basics

Understanding ETL (extract, transform, and load) and data warehousing is essential for data engineering and analysis. As businesses generate large amounts of data from different sources, efficient data integration and storage solutions become crucial. This article breaks down ETL and data warehousing, providing insights into the tools, techniques, and best practices that drive modern data engineering.

What is ETL?

These days, companies have access to more data sources and formats than ever before: databases, websites, SaaS (software as a service) applications, and analytics tools, to name a few. Unfortunately, the ways businesses often store this data make it challenging to extract the valuable insights hidden within — especially when you need it for smarter data-driven business decision-making.

Choosing the Right ETL Tool for Google BigQuery Storage

Google BigQuery is a robust and scalable cloud-based data warehouse that allows storing and analyzing vast amounts of data. BigQuery is a natural choice if your data already exists on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). But before you leverage the platform, you need to extract the source data, carry out transformations, and load the data into your data lake or warehouse. This is where the ETL process and the ETL tools play a significant role.

Best GCP ETL Tools & Alternatives

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a large, cloud-based suite that includes tools for computing, storing data, networking, analyzing big data, networking, managing APIs, and exploring artificial intelligence. The suite includes at least three GCP ETL tools (Cloud Data, Fusion, Dataflow, and Dataproc). However, some users might find that they benefit from a third-party, no-code/low-code ETL platform.
