FAQ

Can you explain the typical workflow of an ETL pipeline?

Generally, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline carries out three major functions that come from the title. Firstly, the pipeline extracts data from one or several sources, for example, other databases, analytical tools, CRM systems, etc. Secondly, this data undergoes some transformations – it is cleaned, filtered, and standardized to be ready for further processing and analytics. Finally, the pipeline loads the pre-processed data in your target repository, where it is ready for more advanced analytical and operational manipulations to produce insights and enable data-driven decision making.

What security measures do you implement to protect data during extraction, transformation, and loading?

To ensure robust data protection throughout all phases of ETL process, we implement, among all, data encryption to prevent data leaks and breaches, access controls to avoid unauthorized access, and logging/monitoring to track user activity. In addition, we apply tokenization techniques and data masking to safeguard sensitive information.

How do you ensure error handling within an ETL pipeline?

We apply various techniques to cover as many error scenarios as possible. These include retry mechanisms that automatically repeat failed operations or recover dorm them, notifications and alerts to inform staff on critical issues, logging to enable retrospective error analysis, and more. Besides, we implement exception handling algorithms to address unexpected scenarios. These collective measures ensure the reliability of ETL pipeline in the moment and over time.

Which factors to consider before custom ETL pipeline development?

To decide on a custom ETL capabilities, we typically emphasize types and variety of data sources, data types and volume, the complexity of integration with your current tech stack, scalability needs, types (batch or real time) and frequency of data updates. However, depending on your individual case, some more factors may come on the table – our team will be glad to examine your case and assist you with creating requirements during a free consultancy session.
