Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines
Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.
After Airbyte
Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Adjust connector in Airbyte

Connect to Adjust or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up S3 for your extracted Adjust data

Select S3 where you want to import data from your Adjust source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Adjust to S3 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.

How to Sync Adjust to S3 Manually

Familiarize yourself with Adjust's data export features. Adjust allows you to export raw data through their Data Export API. Review the API documentation provided by Adjust to understand the endpoints, required parameters, and authentication methods.

Log in to your AWS Management Console and create an S3 bucket where your data will be stored. Take note of the bucket name and configure access permissions to ensure that you can upload files. Ensure the bucket is in the desired AWS region and set appropriate security policies for data access.

To interact with Adjust's API, you'll need an API token. Log in to Adjust, navigate to the API section, and generate an API token if you haven't already. Ensure the token has the necessary permissions to access the required data.

Develop a script using a programming language of your choice (e.g., Python, Node.js) to call the Adjust Data Export API. Use the API token for authentication. Specify the data range and types of data you want to export. The script should handle pagination if Adjust's API returns data in batches.

Once you retrieve the data from Adjust, process it as needed. This might involve transforming the data format (e.g. JSON to CSV) or filtering certain fields. Ensure the data is in the desired format before uploading it to S3.

Use AWS SDK for the programming language you are using to upload the processed data to your S3 bucket. The SDK provides functions to authenticate and interact with S3. Ensure that your AWS credentials have the necessary permissions to upload files to the S3 bucket. Handle any errors that might occur during the upload process.

To regularly move data from Adjust to S3, automate the script execution using a scheduler. For example, use cron jobs on Linux or Task Scheduler on Windows to run the script at desired intervals. Monitor the logs to ensure the process runs smoothly and troubleshoot any issues promptly.

By following these steps, you can effectively transfer data from Adjust to Amazon S3 without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.

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.

Adjust is a favorite mobile attribution and deep-linking platform that makes mobile marketing easy. It is a mobile marketing analytics platform trusted by marketers around the world. This permits you to understand your users through attribution, giving you detailed insights into their journey and overall product experience. With a special focus on fraud prevention and data protection, Adjust also provides sophisticated app analytics capabilities to drive your project strategy and optimize your customer experience.

Adjust's API provides access to a wide range of data related to mobile app marketing and user engagement. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Adjust's API:

1. Attribution data: This includes information about the source of app installs, such as the ad network, campaign, and creative.
2. In-app events data: This includes data related to user actions within the app, such as purchases, registrations, and other custom events.
3. User engagement data: This includes data related to user behavior within the app, such as session length, retention rate, and user churn.
4. Ad performance data: This includes data related to the performance of ad campaigns, such as impressions, clicks, and conversions.
5. Audience data: This includes data related to the demographics and behavior of app users, such as age, gender, location, and interests.
6. Fraud prevention data: This includes data related to the detection and prevention of fraudulent activity within the app, such as click spamming and install fraud.Overall, Adjust's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to optimize mobile app marketing campaigns and improve user engagement.

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 Adjust to S3 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 Adjust to S3 and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
