ETL stands for Extract, Transform and Load. So this is a data pipeline framework. Nextdoor please put that in your blog post as I do not believe it is a very common acronym.

It's not that uncommon, especially in data science/analytics/engineering. I've definitely heard "ETL" more often that data pipeline or analytics pipeline.

This is a nice list[0] of ETL software.

Not uncommon in the ERP/Enterprise/Business computing either. (I say that while I'm working on just such a project for a food distributor).

It is an extremely common acronym.

It's an extremely common acronym in a small niche. So while you're right, sort of, it's still worth clarifying when posted to a more general site.

It’s not a small niche. Search any job board and ETL will show up in a large presentage of job posts and resumes related to software QA and data validations.

I'll leave you with a link to Wikipedia [1]. ETL goes back a long, long way, and is still commonly used all through the industry, except maybe in startups composed of all young, inexperienced people.
