dominant approach to data integration was <strong>ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In this model:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>data is extracted from sources<\/li>\n<li>transformed in an intermediate engine<\/li>\n<li>then loaded into the destination system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>However, modern cloud data platforms have shifted this paradigm.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>Snowflake<\/strong>, compute resources are elastic and the SQL engine is optimized for large-scale workloads.<\/p>\n<p>This enables the <strong>ELT (Extract, Load, Transform)<\/strong> approach.<\/p>\n<p>In ELT:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>raw data is loaded into the data warehouse<\/li>\n<li>transformations are executed inside the warehouse itself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Benefits of ELT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ELT approach offers several advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>no need for external transformation engines such as Spark clusters<\/li>\n<li>simpler pipeline architecture<\/li>\n<li>business logic expressed directly in SQL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, ETL still makes sense when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>transformations require external APIs<\/li>\n<li>data volumes do not justify warehouse compute costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best choice always depends on the specific use case.<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div
