A retail company is designing a new data pipeline to process high volumes of daily sales logs from multiple regional branches. The data engineering team has established the following architectural requirements:
Which data integration pattern and approach best fulfills these requirements?
ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) is a modern data integration architecture where raw data is extracted from source systems, immediately loaded into a centralized data warehouse or data lake, and subsequently transformed within the target storage engine using its native compute capabilities.
Unlike traditional ETL, which requires transforming data in-flight before it reaches the warehouse, ELT takes full advantage of cloud-native data warehouses like BigQuery. It decouples the loading process from data modeling, allowing analysts and data engineers to iterate on transformations rapidly using standard SQL.
