Why the Future of ETL Is Not ELT, But EL(T)

The article discusses how data storage and management have evolved over the last decade, moving from ETL to ELT, with companies like Fivetran pushing this trend. It suggests that the future might see a transition towards EL(T), where E and L are decoupled from T. The problems with ETL include inflexibility, lack of visibility, and limited autonomy for analysts. ELT is considered better due to cloud-based computation and storage, supporting agile decision-making for analysts, and promoting data literacy across the company. However, EL(T) is seen as the future because it supports both analytics and operational use cases, scales faster, and leverages the whole ecosystem by decoupling E and L from T.
