in 2016 when i was working with multiple companies and their databases across different industries ⬆️, one thing kept coming up - inefficient load processes. its like trying to drain a swimming pool using just two cups instead of the big hose you need.
ive seen everything from nightly loads that take hours rather than minutes due to poorly optimized queries and data models ➡, all the way down to terabytes moving between environments taking days when they should be done in mere seconds. its not about how much stuff is being moved, but how its being moved.
the key takeaway? dont underestimate these processes - whether youre dealing with millions of transactions or just small datasets daily . the right approach can make a huge difference between keeping your data fresh and having outdated information that could cost real money in lost opportunities .
