The 80/20 Framework Architecture: Maximizing Reuse in ETL Systems
80 percent of ETL code is the same across every pipeline. The 80/20 framework captures that common infrastructure so you focus on what makes your pipeline unique.
System Blueprints 80 percent of ETL code is the same across every pipeline. The 80/20 framework captures that common infrastructure so you focus on what makes your pipeline unique.
System Blueprints Hard-coded field mappings work until they do not. Configuration-driven ETL lets you change behavior without changing code.
System Blueprints Phone numbers arrive in 47 different formats. Dates come as strings or 0000-00-00. These production-tested cleaners handle edge cases that break naive implementations.
System Blueprints With thousands of records, loading everything into an array crashes your server. Iterator patterns solve this by processing one record at a time, keeping memory constant.
System Blueprints Your ETL pipeline fails when everything is tangled together. The 6-phase pattern separates responsibilities so failures become obvious and debugging becomes easy.
