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.

What is Metabase?

Metabase is accessible to all. Metabase is a self-service business intelligence software and it is a BI tool with a friendly UX and integrated tooling to let your company explore data on its own. Metabase is the easy, open-source way for everyone in your company to ask questions and learn from data. Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool that lets you create charts and dashboards using data from a variety of databases and data sources. It generally assists users to create charts and dashboards from their databases.

What is Clickhouse?

ClickHouse is an open-source, column-oriented OLAP database management system that allows users to generate analytical reports using SQL queries. Also offered as a secure and scalable service in the cloud, ClickHouse Cloud allows anyone to effortlessly take advantage of efficient real time analytical processing​.

What data can you extract from Metabase?

Metabase's API provides access to a wide range of data types, including:  

1. Metrics: These are numerical values that can be used to measure performance or track progress over time. Examples include revenue, website traffic, and customer satisfaction scores.  
2. Dimensions: These are attributes that can be used to group or filter data. Examples include date, location, and product category.  
3. Filters: These are criteria that can be used to limit the data returned by a query. Examples include date ranges, customer segments, and product types.  
4. Joins: These are used to combine data from multiple tables or sources. Examples include joining customer data with sales data to analyze customer behavior.  
5. Aggregations: These are used to summarize data by grouping it into categories and calculating metrics for each category. Examples include calculating average revenue per customer or total sales by product category.  
6. Custom SQL: This allows users to write their own SQL queries to access and manipulate data in any way they choose.  

Overall, Metabase's API provides a powerful tool for accessing and analyzing data from a wide range of sources, making it an ideal choice for businesses and organizations of all sizes.

How do I transfer data from Metabase to Clickhouse?

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps: 
1. Set up Metabase as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Set up Clickhouse as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

What are top ETL tools to extract data from

The most prominent ETL tools to transfer data from Metabase to Clickhouse include:
- Airbyte
- Fivetran
- StitchData
- Matillion
- Talend Data Integration
These tools help in extracting data from Metabase and various sources (APIs, databases, and more), transforming it efficiently, and loading it into Clickhouse and other databases, data warehouses and data lakes, enhancing data management capabilities.

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.
