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 Aha connector in Airbyte

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

Set up BigQuery for your extracted Aha data

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

Configure the Aha to BigQuery 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 Aha to BigQuery Manually

Begin by logging into your Aha! account. Navigate to the relevant project or workspace from which you want to export data. Use Aha!'s built-in export feature to download the data in a CSV format. You can typically find this option under the 'Reports' section or by selecting the desired data view and choosing the 'Export' option.

Once you've downloaded the CSV file from Aha!, open it in a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Review the data to ensure accuracy and completeness. Make any necessary adjustments, such as renaming columns, adjusting date formats, or cleaning up any unwanted characters.

If you haven’t already, create a Google Cloud Platform account at cloud.google.com. Once your account is set up, navigate to the Google Cloud Console. Here, you'll need to create a new project or select an existing one where your BigQuery dataset will reside.

In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to BigQuery. Click on your project name in the left-hand pane, and select 'Create Dataset'. Provide a name for your dataset and configure any additional settings based on your requirements, such as data location and default table expiration.

Before importing data into BigQuery, upload your CSV file to Google Cloud Storage (GCS). In the Google Cloud Console, go to the Storage section and create a new bucket if necessary. Upload your CSV file to this bucket. Ensure the correct permissions are set to allow BigQuery to access the file.

Go back to BigQuery in the Google Cloud Console. Choose your dataset and select 'Create Table'. In the source section, select 'Google Cloud Storage' and specify the path to your CSV file. Configure the destination table by providing a table name and schema. Use the 'Auto-detect' feature to simplify schema definition if the CSV structure is straightforward. Click 'Create Table' to start the import process.

Once the import is complete, validate the data in BigQuery. Run a few simple queries to ensure that the data matches the original CSV file. Check for any discrepancies in the data types or missing values. This step ensures that your data has been accurately migrated from Aha! to BigQuery.

By following these steps, you can effectively transfer data from Aha! to BigQuery without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.

FAQs

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.

Aha stands for America Heart Association. This Advised Fund Program provides an easy, flexible, and tax-wise way to support all your favorite charities through one account, which is a very different kind of high-growth SaaS company. We are self-funded, completely remote, and have no sales team. We aspire to a loving software world built by happy teams. Today more than 600,000+ product builders from many of the world's most renowned companies trust our software to form a better future. So, Aha helps teams to be happy.

Aha's API provides access to a wide range of data related to product management and development. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Aha's API:

1. Product data: This includes information about products, features, releases, and ideas.  
2. Roadmap data: This includes data related to the product roadmap, such as goals, initiatives, and timelines.  
3. User data: This includes data related to users, such as their roles, permissions, and activity.  
4. Integration data: This includes data related to integrations with other tools, such as Jira, Trello, and Slack.  
5. Analytics data: This includes data related to product analytics, such as usage metrics, customer feedback, and market trends.  
6. Custom data: This includes data that can be customized based on the specific needs of the user, such as custom fields and workflows.  

Overall, Aha's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to manage and develop products more effectively.

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 Aha to BigQuery 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 Aha to BigQuery 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.
