Correct arrangement

  • Extract, transform, and load (ETL) processing
  • Extract, load, and transform (ELT) processing
  • Data ingestion

Explanation

ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) processing is used when data must be transformed before loading into the destination, typically into a structured data warehouse where raw data is not stored. ELT (Extract, Load, and Transform) processing loads raw data into the destination system first (such as a data lake or cloud data warehouse), then transforms it using the destination's compute power. Data ingestion refers to the process of collecting and importing raw data from various sources into a storage system for immediate use or further processing, without implying a specific transformation order.
