- Google Analytics metrics
- Database exports
- API integrations
### 2. Batch Operations
- Bulk data imports
- Regular data updates
- Data migrations
- ETL pipelines
### 3. Data Transformation
- Field mapping
- Data validation
- Aggregation
- Enrichment
### 4. Automated Workflows
- Scheduled syncs
- Incremental updates
- Data quality checks
- Dashboard automation
## Technical Implementation
