How to load data from Alpha Vantage to Starburst Galaxy

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Alpha Vantage data into Starburst Galaxy within minutes.

Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open 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 Connector Builder.

TL;DR

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:

set up Alpha Vantage as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
set up Starburst Galaxy as a destination connector
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.

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

A Alpha Vantage account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Starburst Galaxy account.
An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Alpha Vantage and Starburst Galaxy, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Alpha Vantage to Starburst Galaxy, it extracts data from Alpha Vantage using the source connector, converts it into a format Starburst Galaxy can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into Starburst Galaxy via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Alpha Vantage data for advanced analytics and insights within Starburst Galaxy, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Alpha Vantage as a source connector

1. Go to the Alpha Vantage website and create an account if you don't already have one.
2. Once you have an account, log in and navigate to the API Key tab.
3. Generate a new API key if you don't already have one.
4. Copy the API key to your clipboard.
5. Go to Airbyte and navigate to the Sources page.
6. Click on the "New Source" button and select "Alpha Vantage" from the list of available connectors.
7. Enter a name for your source and paste the API key into the "API Key" field.
8. Choose the data you want to sync by selecting the appropriate options from the dropdown menus.
9. Click on the "Test" button to ensure that your credentials are correct and that the connection is working.
10. If the test is successful, click on the "Create" button to save your source and start syncing data.

Step 2: Set up Starburst Galaxy as a destination connector

1. First, navigate to the connectors page on Airbyte and select the Starburst Galaxy destination connector.
2. Next, enter the required credentials for your Starburst Galaxy account, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
3. Once you have entered your credentials, click on the "Test Connection" button to ensure that the connection is successful.
4. If the connection is successful, you can then configure the settings for your destination connector, including the table name, schema, and any additional options.
5. After configuring your settings, you can then run a sync to transfer data from your source connector to your Starburst Galaxy destination.
6. You can monitor the progress of your sync and view any errors or warnings that may occur during the transfer process.
7. Once the sync is complete, you can then view your data in your Starburst Galaxy database and use it for analysis or other purposes.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Alpha Vantage data to Starburst Galaxy

Once you've successfully connected Alpha Vantage as a data source and Starburst Galaxy as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
Choose your source: Select Alpha Vantage from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Starburst Galaxy from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
Configure your sync: Define the frequency of your data syncs based on your business needs. Airbyte allows both manual and automatic scheduling for your data refreshes.
Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Alpha Vantage objects you want to import data from towards Starburst Galaxy. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Alpha Vantage to Starburst Galaxy according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Starburst Galaxy data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Alpha Vantage data.

Use Cases to transfer your Alpha Vantage data to Starburst Galaxy

Integrating data from Alpha Vantage to Starburst Galaxy provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

Advanced Analytics: Starburst Galaxy’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Alpha Vantage data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Alpha Vantage alone.
Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Alpha Vantage, syncing to Starburst Galaxy allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
Historical Data Analysis: Alpha Vantage has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Starburst Galaxy allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
Data Security and Compliance: Starburst Galaxy provides robust data security features. Syncing Alpha Vantage data to Starburst Galaxy ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
Scalability: Starburst Galaxy can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Alpha Vantage data.
Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Alpha Vantage data in Starburst Galaxy, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
Reporting and Visualization: While Alpha Vantage provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Starburst Galaxy, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Alpha Vantage table that needs to be converted to a Starburst Galaxy table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a Alpha Vantage account as an Airbyte data source connector.
Configure Starburst Galaxy as a data destination connector.
Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Alpha Vantage to Starburst Galaxy after you set a schedule

With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
