🚀 What is Santiq?

Santiq is a modern ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) platform that makes data processing simple, reliable, and extensible. Built with a plugin-first architecture, Santiq allows you to:

• Extract data from any source (files, databases, APIs, cloud services)
• Profile data to automatically detect quality issues
• Transform data with intelligent cleaning and validation
• Load data to any destination with full audit trails

✨ Key Features

• 🔌 Plugin-First Architecture: Everything is a plugin, even core functionality
• 🧠 Smart Data Profiling: Automatic issue detection with context-aware fix suggestions
• ⚡ Multiple Execution Modes: Manual, half-automatic, and controlled-automatic
• 📊 Learning System: Remembers your preferences for future pipeline runs
• 🛡️ Enterprise Ready: Comprehensive audit logging and error handling
• 🚀 Performance Optimized: Hybrid memory/disk usage based on data size
• 🔧 Extensible: Easy to create custom plugins for any data source or transformation
