Make decisions with cost-benefit analysis
When deciding between day-to-day ETL and real-time streaming, consider use case, SLO, and cost criteria.
“Strike a balance of cost and value with hybrid ETL.”
How to Determine ETL Frequency?
The right ETL frequency depends on business goals. Some metrics are sufficient with daily batching, while others require streaming.
Decision Criteria
- Usage scenario and tolerated latency
- Functional cost and infrastructure overhead
- Data quality and remediation processes
Hybrid Approach
Stream critical metrics and run operational reports daily. Cost and complexity remain under control.
