ETL Developer
What is ETL Developer?
In the framework of an increasingly competitive and challenging business environment, companies have the need to find solutions and systems to generate competitive advantages from the collection, analysis and transformation of data into strategic decisions that allow them to design successful plans and properly manage the different areas and departments.
In this context is the concept of business intelligence, which refers to the optimum use of data and data-oriented business decision making. This concept is also known as advanced business analytics and encompasses the understanding of the operation of the various circuits and processes of the company – past, present and future – to form the knowledge base necessary to support the decisions and actions that are taken.
ETL stands for extract, transform, and load. In business intelligence, an ETL tool is used to extract data from data-sources, transform and optimize it for reporting and analysis, then load it into a data warehouse.
An ETL developer is a type of IT Talent that manages, designs, develops, and maintains data storage systems and ensures they contain business-relevant data. In order to facilitate operational decision – making or strategic more appropriate to achieve the objectives of the company.
Regardless of its origin, the data are subjected to three different processes with the aim of profiling and homogenizing them so that they can fulfill their function as generators of useful and effective quality information for decision-making:
Extract
Businesses store historical information or stream real-time data into many systems. In this extracting process, the data is stored from different source systems into a staging area where it can be validated to ensure that it is in the right format and not corrupted so it can be moved to a data warehouse system.
Transform
This step is about structuring and formatting data. After data is collected from its sources, it's in a raw state. When the data is gathered from its sources, it’s usually placed in a temporary storage called a Staging Area.
Load
The final stage of an ETL process is loading the structured and formatted data into a database. If the amount of data is small, any kind of database can be used. A specific type of database used in business intelligence, big data processing, and machine learning is called a Data Warehouse.
