Some of the optimizations are prerequisites for a high-performance data warehouse. Sometimes Data Engineers write downstream ETLs on ingested data to optimize the data/metadata layouts to make other ETL processes cheaper and faster. Both automatic (event-driven) as well as manual (ad-hoc) optimization.
