Simple and Automated Always Beats Complex and Handwritten

What's this blog post about?

Fivetran Transformations presents a simpler approach to modeling data for reports and dashboards, utilizing Extract-Load-Transform (ELT) instead of the traditional Extract-Transform-Load (ETL). Traditional ETL-based data pipelines involve complex handwritten scripts and numerous moving parts. In contrast, Fivetran Transformations allows analysts to write, schedule, and version-control transformations for their data within the data warehouse environment using SQL. This streamlined process eliminates the need for extensive configuration, scripting, and coding, making it more accessible and efficient for a wider audience.
