dlt

Back to DuckDB Data Engineering Glossary

dlt is an open-source Python library designed to simplify the process of building data pipelines. It automates many of the tedious aspects of data ingestion and transformation, allowing data professionals to focus on the logic of their pipelines rather than boilerplate code. dlt supports a wide range of data sources and destinations, including popular databases, APIs, and file formats. It can automatically infer schemas from source data and create appropriate structures in the target destination. The library also provides features for data versioning, incremental loading, and error handling, making it easier to build robust and maintainable data pipelines. By reducing the complexity of data integration tasks, dlt enables data analysts and engineers to quickly prototype and deploy data workflows, accelerating the development of data-driven applications and analytics.
