GLOSSARY TERM
ETL / ELT
ETL/ELT pipelines move and shape data: platform APIs to warehouse, settlement files to reconciliation, event streams to dashboards — scheduled, monitored, versioned.
Operational notes for this vertical
iGaming pipelines fight source heterogeneity (every provider’s export dialect), adjustment churn (yesterday’s numbers change — pipelines must handle restatements, not just appends), and latency budgets per consumer (finance tolerates daily; fraud wants minutes). Pipeline observability — freshness alerts, volume anomaly checks, schema-drift detection — is the difference between “the dashboard is wrong” mysteries and boring reliability. Boring is the goal.
