Summary of "ETL - Extract Transform Load | Summary of all the key concepts in building ETL Pipeline"
ETL (Extract Transform Load) is essential for building a data warehouse.
- The extract phase involves getting data from various sources in different formats.
- real-time streaming, batch processing, and flat files are common methods for extraction.
- Complex logic is avoided in the extraction phase, with basic transformations like date calculations.
- Data format consistency is crucial to ensure uniform representation of data from multiple sources.
- data quality rules can be applied during extraction to ensure data integrity.
- staging tables are used for extraction and are typically truncated and loaded without running business queries.
- Load strategies include full and delta loads, with historical loads done initially.
- The transform phase involves applying data transformations to make raw data meaningful.
- Common transformation steps include mapping, data enrichment, joins, filters, removing duplicates, and aggregation.
- dimension tables require primary and foreign keys, attributes, load strategies, and granularity definitions.
- Fact tables contain measures and have primary and foreign keys to relate to dimension tables.
- The EDW (Enterprise data warehouse) stores processed data for business decisions, while data marts are subject-specific areas for analysis.
- The load phase involves loading data into dimension tables, fact tables, EDW, and data marts.
- The video serves as a comprehensive guide for both beginners and experienced professionals in ETL development.
