ETL

ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load. It’s a process used to gather data from different sources (Extract), clean and organize it to ensure consistency and accuracy (Transform), and then transfer it into a central system or database (Load) for analysis and reporting. This process helps businesses make sense of large amounts of data from various places, enabling informed decision-making. Think of ETL as a way to collect raw materials, prepare them, and then supply them to a factory where they can be used effectively.
