10 Popular Python-Based ETL Tools To Learn

ETL Tools

ETL stands for Extract Transform Load, which is a crucial procedure in the process of data preparation. With the help of ETL, one can easily access data from various interfaces. This means it can collect and migrate data from various data structures across various platforms.

In this article, we list down 10 Python-Based top ETL tools.

(The list is in alphabetical order)

1| Apache Airflow

Apache Airflow is a Python-based workflow automation tool, which can be used to author workflows as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) of tasks. It uses all Python features to create your workflows, including date-time formats for scheduling tasks and loops to dynamically generate tasks. This platform can be used for building machine learning models, transferring data or managing data infrastructure.
