"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Prepare your development environment by installing necessary tools. You will need the AWS SDK for your preferred programming language (e.g., Python, Node.js) to interact with DynamoDB and a ClickHouse client to interact with the ClickHouse database. Install the AWS CLI for easier configuration and testing.
Write a script to extract data from your DynamoDB table. Use the AWS SDK to scan or query the table based on your requirements. Be mindful of DynamoDB's limitations on data retrieval (e.g., read capacity units, pagination). If your data set is large, consider using DynamoDB Streams or breaking the data extraction into smaller chunks.
Once data is extracted, transform it into a format suitable for ClickHouse. This typically involves converting JSON data (common in DynamoDB) into CSV or TSV format, which ClickHouse can ingest efficiently. Ensure data types are compatible with the ClickHouse schema.
Set up the necessary tables in ClickHouse to store the data. Define the schema based on the transformed data. Ensure that the columns and data types match those of the incoming data. Use the ClickHouse client or SQL interface to create tables.
Use the ClickHouse client to load the data into your ClickHouse tables. You can use the `INSERT INTO` command if the data set is small or the `INSERT INTO ... FORMAT CSV` command for bulk loading when dealing with larger datasets. Make sure to handle data types and potential errors during the import process.
After loading data into ClickHouse, perform checks to ensure data integrity. Compare the record counts and sample data between DynamoDB and ClickHouse to ensure accuracy. Use SQL queries to validate data in ClickHouse and ensure there are no discrepancies.
Once the manual process is successful, automate the data transfer using a script. This script should handle data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) and can be scheduled using cron jobs or any other scheduling tool. Ensure error handling and logging are implemented to facilitate monitoring and troubleshooting.
By following these steps, you can systematically move data from DynamoDB to ClickHouse without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that supports key–value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. DynamoDB exposes a similar data model to and derives its name from Dynamo, but has a different underlying implementation.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
