When should a company consider EASL instead of extending or optimizing existing ETL tools?

Organizations usually recognize the need for EASL when incremental fixes no longer keep pace with the environment. If pipelines require constant intervention, if new integrations take weeks or months to deploy, or if engineers are spending more time maintaining systems than building new capabilities, the architecture has reached its ceiling. EASL slots in when the challenge isn’t volume alone but variability, rapid change, or the limitations of connector-based tools.
