ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load. ETL is a data pipeline that copies data from various data sources. Then, this copy is transformed by cleansing, summarizing, filtering, and more. And finally, the transformed data is loaded to a target database. ELT stands for Extract, Load, Transform. ELT data pipeline works by copying the data source to the destination. And then, the destination’s computing power will handle the transformations. And to get a detailed answer to the question "What is the difference between ETL and ELT components of Talend?", I recommend this comprehensive guide: https://skyvia.com/blog/elt-vs-etl
