Google Cloud's fully managed, cloud-native data integration service for building and managing ETL/ELT pipelines with a visual interface. Like having a drag-and-drop pipeline builder that connects all your data sources without writing code.
A healthcare provider uses Data Fusion to build pipelines that extract patient data from multiple systems, transform it for compliance, and load it into BigQuery for analytics.
Cloud Data Fusion is a managed, visual data integration service (built on CDAP) for designing ETL/ELT pipelines. Comparable services are AWS Glue (serverless ETL + catalog), Azure Data Factory (orchestration + data movement/transform), and Oracle Data Integrator (enterprise ETL/ELT, commonly used with Oracle ecosystems). Feature overlap exists, but connectors, governance integration, and execution models differ by provider.
