AI-assisted low- and no-code solutions dominate previously code-heavy processes, delivering streamlined development and reduced complexity. This transition challenges engineers to shift from writing pure extract, transform, and load (ETL) code to managing system design, data governance, compliance, and strategic AI tool integration.
