Extract and load. It’s a variation of ETL where you push the Transformation(T) step into the warehouse as opposed to doing the T out of band in code.

This allows you to retain the data as raw as possible and empowers your analytics teams to move faster by not having to wait for engineers to transform the data into a usable form.
