What is ETL?

ETL stands for “Extract, Transform, and Load.” It is a set of common processes for collecting, integrating, and distributing data to make it available for additional purposes, such as analytics, machine learning, reporting, or other business purposes. ETL enables an organization to carry out data-driven analysis and decision-making using operational data.

Built by the original creators of Apache Kafka, Confluent powers scalable, reliable, real-time streaming ETL across 120+ data sources.
