Why I’m sick of ETL tools and what I use instead (hint: it’s a different ETL tool)

In my previous post I talked about how to architect your data warehouse, especially if you’re using Amazon Redshift.

To build that architecture in practice, we need a tool to Extract, Load and Transform (ETL) our data through the layers. This could be completed using traditional ETL tool such as Informatica, Pentaho, Talend or many more.

These tools are great but you may find that Amazon’s Data Pipeline tool can also do the trick and simplify your workflow.
