Summary
In this chapter, we explored the core concepts of orchestrating and scaling ETL pipelines, recognizing the need for efficient and scalable pipelines as data size and complexity continue to grow.
Effective orchestration ensures that ETL tasks are scheduled correctly, errors are appropriately handled, resources are efficiently managed, and progress is monitored and logged. By incorporating scalable and orchestrated approaches, organizations can overcome the limitations of traditional ETL pipelines, handle large data volumes, ensure efficient processing, and improve overall pipeline manageability and reliability in the era of big data.
As we close this chapter, we’ve set the stage for what comes next: rigorous ETL testing. In Chapter 13, we’ll shift our focus to the different strategies and tools for ETL testing, aiming to further improve the performance and resilience of our pipelines.
