Parent didn't chose the best starting place to illustrate.
Typically, reverse ETL starts with "all of my data is already in an EDW" and goes to "I want to push it to my various app systems."
Canonical example: pushing system of record information to Salesforce to speed and enrich the sales cycle.

- dc-programmer 4y agoMy bad. My introduction to the topic was through the lens of different use cases
