What is ETL architecture?

An ETL (Extract Transform and Load) architect works on business intelligence projects and guides a company throughout the ETL processes. The concept of ETL architecture is a staple in the IT and business communities. ETL architecture in its purest form is a straight-line process which extracts data from one location or source, transforms the data, and finally processes it to the final destination. ETL architecture is present in large data warehouses, and companies strive to generate ETL scripts which aid the architecture’s map. ETL architecture is the complete picture of data housing and security. Factoring in the company's concerns, structure, goals, and current analytical skills, ETL architects load data from quality sources.
