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 S3 for your extracted Aha data

Select S3 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 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 Aha to S3 Manually

Log into your Aha! account. Navigate to the data or reports you want to export. Aha! typically provides options to export data into formats like CSV or Excel. Use the export feature to download your data to your local machine.

Once you have exported the data, verify the file format and structure. Ensure that the data is clean and formatted correctly for your needs. If necessary, you can use tools like Excel or a text editor to adjust the data before uploading.

Log into your AWS Management Console. Navigate to the S3 service and create a new bucket where you will store your Aha! data. Configure the bucket settings, including permissions and versioning, according to your requirements.

If you haven’t already, install the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on your local machine. Configure the CLI with your AWS credentials by running `aws configure` and providing your access key, secret key, region, and output format.

Use the AWS CLI to upload your exported data file to the S3 bucket. Open your terminal or command prompt and run a command similar to the following:
```
aws s3 cp /path/to/your/file.csv s3://your-bucket-name/
```
Replace `/path/to/your/file.csv` with the path to your local file and `your-bucket-name` with the name of your S3 bucket.

Log back into the AWS Management Console and navigate to your S3 bucket. Check that the file appears in the bucket and ensure that the file size and date modified match your expectations.

After uploading the data, configure the bucket policies and permissions as needed to control access to your data. You can set permissions through the AWS Management Console or by using a JSON policy document, depending on your security requirements.

By following these steps, you can successfully move data from Aha! to Amazon S3 without relying on third-party connectors.

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 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 Aha 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.
