Exploring use cases for ETL pipelines
Now, we will cover the benefits and uses of ETL pipelines in organizations:
- Benefits of ETL pipelines:
- Allow developers and engineers to focus on useful tasks rather than worrying about data
- Free up time for developers, engineers, and scientists to focus on actual work
- Help organizations move data from one place to another and transform it into a desired format efficiently and systematically
- Applications of ETL pipelines:
- Migrating data from a legacy platform to the cloud and vice versa
- Centralizing data sources to have a consolidated view of data
- Providing stable data sources for data-driven applications and data analytic tools
- Acting as a blueprint for organizational data, serving as a single source of truth
- Example of an ETL pipeline in action:
- Netflix has a very robust ETL pipeline that manages petabytes of data, allowing them to employ a small team of engineers to handle admin tasks related to data
