 - Using Reverse ETL to build a data pipeline from your OLAP solutions like Snowflake back to your transactional databases like Postgres can help you make your data actionable thus operationalize data throughout the organisation.
 - In reverse ETL strategy the data warehouse becomes the source, rather than the target. Pushing insights learned from this collected data from the warehouse to the right team inside your organisation be it Sales, Support etc who can be most benefited from it can reduce the friction and increase the business growth.
