Can someone explain the ELT meaning in simple terms? or What exactly does ELT meaning refer to?

ELT meaning is basically Extract, Load, Transform—it’s a data process where you pull data from sources, dump it into a system (like a data warehouse), *then* transform it.

Unlike ETL, where you transform before loading, ELT is faster for huge datasets since modern tools (Snowflake, BigQuery) handle transformations after loading.

Example: Pulling raw sales data into a warehouse, then cleaning it later. Tools like Fivetran or Stitch are great for ELT.
