The Death of ETL: Why Banks Must Move to Event‑Native, Policy‑Aware, Real‑Time Data Planes

Banks are increasingly moving away from traditional ETL pipelines, which have long been the backbone of their data processing, due to their inefficiency in real-time data handling. The article argues that the shift towards event-native, policy-aware, and real-time data planes is crucial for banks to stay competitive and compliant in a fast-evolving financial landscape. This transition not only enhances operational efficiency but also allows banks to better respond to regulatory changes and customer demands in real-time, ultimately leading to improved decision-making and customer experiences.
