Data Integration, Fintech, Data Quality, Data MigrationAbstract
Two essential data integrations approaches are ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) & ELT (Extract, Load, Transform), each of them which is appropriates for a certain set of requirements. ETL entails removing data &converting it into a format that can be used then putting it into a data warehouses. It is the preferred option for sectors like banking & also healthcare that needs high data integrity since it is perfect for structured data that has to be thoroughly cleaned & validated before being stored. ELT reverses the procedures by converting data after it has been loaded into a data warehouses. This method is ideal for managing the massive amounts of raw data & facilitating the flexible analytics as it make uses of contemporary cloud-based warehouses with the scalable processing capabilities. This comparison draws attention & the differences between ELT's speed & flexibility and ETL's accuracy & data integrity. Employ examples from the retail, healthcare & finance industries demonstrate how companies employs ELT for a quick, scalable insights & ETL for curated datasets. Organizations may choose the best part of approach to improve performances and streamline their data operations by being aware of these trade-offs.
