what is elt? It’s the “load now, worry later” approach. Perfect for cloud setups.
ETL’s more predictable but slower. ELT’s flexible but can get messy.
Try Snowflake + dbt for ELT. Old-school ETL? SSIS still works.

Wow, thanks everyone! This makes way more sense now. Didn’t realize how much the choice depends on your warehouse’s power.
Gonna try Fivetran + dbt with BigQuery like some of you suggested.
Quick follow-up: Anyone got horror stories with ELT? Like, when did it totally backfire? Just wanna avoid landmines lol.
