Snowflake supports both transformations during (ETL) or after loading (ELT). Snowflake integrates with a variety of data integration solutions, including Informatica, Talend, Tableau, Matillion, and others.
In data engineering, new tools and self-service pipelines are displacing traditional tasks such as manual ETL coding and data cleaning. With Snowflake's simple ETL and ELT options, data engineers can spend more time focusing on essential data strategy and pipeline improvement initiatives. Furthermore, using the Snowflake Cloud Platform as your data lake and data warehouse, extract, convert, and load may be efficiently avoided, as no pre-transformations or pre-schemas are needed.
