Top companies trust Airbyte to centralize their Data

Start leveraging your TiDB data in three easy steps

1

Setup a TiDB connector in Airbyte

Connect to TiDB or one of 400 Airbyte data sources through simple account authentication.

2

Set up a destination for your extracted TiDB data

Choose from one of 50+ destinations where you want to import data from your TiDB source.This can be a cloud data warehouse, database, data lake, vector database, or any other supported Airbyte destination.

3

Configure the TiDB connection in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

Move large volumes, fast.

Quickly get up and running with a 5-minute setup that supports both incremental and full refreshes, for databases of any size.

Change Data Capture.

Airbyte's log-based CDC allows for fast detection of all data changes and efficient replication with minimal resources.

Security from source to destination.

Securely connect to your database using our reliable connection methods (SSL/TLS, SSH tunnels). Bring your own cloud too!

We support the CDC methods your company needs

Log-based CDC

Our binary log reader asynchronously reads the transaction logs to identify any changes made to the database. This scalable method can handle large volumes of data and enables real-time CDC.

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 TiDB?

TiDB is a distributed SQL database that is designed to handle large-scale online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP) workloads. It is an open-source, cloud-native database that is built to be highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant. TiDB uses a distributed architecture that allows it to scale horizontally across multiple nodes, while also providing strong consistency guarantees. It supports SQL and offers compatibility with MySQL, which makes it easy for developers to migrate their existing applications to TiDB. TiDB is used by companies such as Didi Chuxing, Mobike, and Meituan-Dianping to power their mission-critical applications.

How do I transfer data from TiDB?

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 TiDB as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from TiDB 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 TiDB

The most prominent ETL tools to extract data from TiDB include:
- Airbyte
- Fivetran
- StitchData
- Matillion
- Talend Data Integration
These ETL and ELT tools help in extracting data from TiDB and other sources (APIs, databases, and more), transforming it efficiently, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake, 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.
