The hidden reason your data pipeline feels slow.

ETL isnโ€™t old-school. Itโ€™s becoming smarter in 2025.

Yet most teams still build data pipelines the old way.

They extract, transform, load โ€” but forget speed and scalability.

Legacy ETL pipelines choke when data volume explodes.

I switched one project from ETL โ†’ ELT on Azure Data Lake.

Transformation time dropped by 60%. Real-time dashboards finally worked.

Modern data teams mix ETL, ELT, and Reverse ETL.

The key? Choose the right flow for the right workload.

Are you still running old ETL jobsโ€ฆ or modernizing your data flow?

Whatโ€™s your go-to strategy โ€” ETL, ELT, or Reverse ETL โ€” and why?
