ETL or ELT? Choose the Right Process for the Right Outcome

April 30, 2022

For years, there was a standard order of operations for data delivery: ETL, or extract, transform, and load. However, things have changed.

With data coming at us faster than ever, business moving at the speed of light, and new integration tools on the market, there’s another option on the table: ELT, or extract, load, and transform. ELT offers benefits that aren’t available in ETL, especially for situations where speed is critical. That’s why it’s becoming more and more popular.

Which model should you use, and when? Download the e-book to learn:

  • Why ETL was effective for so long—and where it falls short
  • What ELT delivers that ETL can’t
  • How to build a real-time data pipeline with ELT

Learn how to choose the right approach for your business.
