CloverETL was an open-source data extract, transform, and load (ETL) software for data management. The software came in numerous fee-based commercial versions (CloverETL Designer, Server, and Cluster) as well as a free open-source Community edition.

Product history

CloverETL began life in 2002 as "jETeL/Clover," a coding project started by Czech developer David Pavlis to create a framework to better transform structured data.[2][3] ("Jetel" is the Czech word for "clover."[4]) The software was soon simply called "CloverETL," with an open-source project starting on BerliOS Developer on January 5, 2003[5], with an Ohloh project starting a few days later.[6] On September 16, 2003, the project went from beta to stable with the version 1.0 release of the software.[1]

Sometime in late 2005 the software was referenced as "Clover.ETL," which featured a new "Clover.GUI" plug-in adding visual transformation design functionality to the software.[7] A 2.0.x release of the software was made in November 2006, bringing eight new transformation components to the framework.[8] In July 2007, the project website moved to cloveretl.org, merging the Clover.ETL and Clover.GUI projects together.[9] In early 2009, the software name reverted back to simply "CloverETL." Through Pavlis' affiliation with Czech developer Javlin Consulting, the CloverETL software gained further momentum.[10] Version 3.0.0 of CloverETL was released on October 5, 2010[11], and development has continued since through Javlin, Inc.

Shortly after its 5.1.1 release in February 2019, the developers announced they were discontinuing their free open-source offering in favor of a commercial offering called CloverDX.[12]
