Data ingestion is the act of collecting data for transfer and storage. There are lots of places that data can be onboarded. Predominantly, data ingestion falls into one of the categories from databases, streams, logs, and files. Among these, databases are the most popular. These typically consist of your main upstream transactional systems that are the primary data storage for your applications. They take on both relational and non-relational flavors, and there are several techniques for extracting data out of them.

Streams are open-ended sequences of time-series data such as clickstream data from websites or IoT devices, usually published into an API we host. Logs get generated by applications, services, and operating systems. A data lake is a great place to store all of the data for centralized analysis. Data lakes provide a single source of truth to store all data in one place and break data silos across various business units in the organization. In a later...
