Qlik Talend Cloud
Qlik Talend Cloud is a comprehensive cloud-based data integration solution that unifies data from diverse sources, enabling data transformation, quality assurance, application integration, and data governance. It provides the necessary tools to prepare and deliver trusted, AI-ready data to various systems and cloud environments, supporting initiatives like data warehousing, data lakes, and generative AI by streamlining data pipelines and ensuring data accuracy and compliance.
Qlik Talend Cloud consists of two parts:
- Qlik Talend Data Integration
- Talend Cloud
Qlik is in the process of merging these into the Qlik Cloud platform. The information in this document refers to the parts of Qlik Talend Cloud already running on the Qlik Cloud platform.
Qlik Talend Data Integration
Qlik Talend Data Integration is a powerful data integration fabric that helps data engineers deliver, transform, and unify enterprise data in real time via automated, governed, and reusable data pipelines.
This cloud service provides the ability to create data pipelines to perform a variety of data integration tasks in support of your data architecture and analytics requirements. Onboarding data lets you automate incremental data movement and use delayed merging to reduce costs. You can leverage real-time, log-based change data capture and full load capabilities, with a secure connection to on-premise and private cloud data sources behind firewalls.
Once you have onboarded data, you can apply transformations for fit-for-purpose output, or automate patterns like data mart facts and dimensions. External views and live views are generated for data consumption, and historical data is tracked as full Type 2 data store (HDS). Transformations can be built using visual, AI-assisted, and SQL transformation flows.
Qlik Talend Data Integration pipelines support many data architectures including custom output, lakehouse medallion, and data warehouse architectures. The refined output can be used for many purposes, such as:
Data mining
Automated creation of data for analytics in the cloud
Modernization of your data repository to support machine learning and other initiatives
These services rely on the underlying platform services provided by the Qlik Cloud platform. For more information, see the Qlik Cloud platform Evaluation Guide.
