Presentation

Implementation of a multi platform reactive ETL for .NET5 working with a similar principle than SSIS, but that is used in the same way than Linq. The reactive approach for the implementation of this engine ensures parallelized multi streams, high performances and low memory foot print even with million rows to process.

• ETL.NET is fully written in .NET for a multi platform usage and for a straight forward integration in any application. Extend it takes 5mn... literally.
• ETL.NET works with a similar principle than SSIS, with ETL processes to be written in .NET like Linq queries.
• A simple and straight forward ELT.NET runtime for .NET executes ETL processes with no installation required.

Examples

Unzip it, read it, save it, report it

Read all zip files from a folder, unzip csv files that are inside, parse them, exclude duplicates, upsert them into database, and report new or pre existing id corresponding to the email.

Run it, debug it, track it, log it

Execute an ETL process, debug it by tracking debug events using the IDE debugger, catch execution events and log it into database.

Dispatch rows from a flat file into several tables to normalize data thanks to the correlation mechanism.
