Why you should choose an ELT pipeline over an ETL pipeline

The ELT (Extract, Transform, and Load) approach matches the reality of data needs that rapidly change. Because the ELT process transforms data after it has been loaded, it is not necessary to know in-advance exactly how the data will be used – new transformations can be performed on the raw data as the need arises. Furthermore, analysts can always access the original raw data, as subsequent transformations will not have compromised its integrity. This gives analysts autonomy from data engineers, since it is not necessary to modify ingest pipelines in order to transform the data in a new way. If a raw and unmodified version of the data exists in the destination, it can be re-transformed in the future without the need for a resync of data from source systems.

Hello there! You are receiving this message because none of your fellow community members has stepped in to respond to your topic post. (If you are a community member and you are reading this response, feel free to jump in if you have the answer!) As a result, the Community Assistance Team has been made aware of this topic and will be investigating and responding as quickly as possible.
Some important considerations that will help your to get your issue solved faster:

  • It is best to use our topic creation template; if you haven’t yet, we recommend posting a followup with the requested information. With that information the team will be able to more quickly search for similar issues with connectors and the platform and troubleshoot more quickly your specific question or problem.
  • Make sure to upload the complete log file; a common investigation roadblock is that sometimes the error for the issue happens well before the problem is surfaced to the user, and so having the tail of the log is less useful than having the whole log to scan through.
  • Be as descriptive and specific as possible; when investigating it is extremely valuable to know what steps were taken to encounter the issue, what version of connector / platform / Java / Python / docker / k8s was used, etc. The more context supplied, the quicker the investigation can start on your topic and the faster we can drive towards an answer.
  • We in the Community Assistance Team are glad you’ve made yourself part of our community, and we’ll do our best to answer your questions and resolve the problems as quickly as possible. Expect to hear from a specific team member as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time and attention.
Best,
The Community Assistance Team
