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 Amplitude connector in Airbyte

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

Set up Oracle for your extracted Amplitude data

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

Configure the Amplitude to Oracle 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 Amplitude to Oracle Manually

Begin by exporting the data you need from Amplitude. Log in to your Amplitude account, navigate to the desired project, and use the export functionality to download data. Choose a suitable format like CSV or JSON, which can be processed later. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to export data and comply with any data governance policies.

Once you have your export file, inspect it to understand its structure. Open the file using a text editor or data processing tool (such as Excel for CSV files) and clean the data if necessary. This might involve removing unnecessary columns, fixing data types, and ensuring consistency across records.

Set up a local environment to transform the data into a format suitable for Oracle. Install necessary tools or languages like Python or SQL scripting capabilities. Ensure your environment can handle the size of the data file and has the necessary libraries for data manipulation.

Using your chosen programming language or SQL scripts, transform the data to match the schema of your Oracle database. This may include renaming fields, converting data types, and formatting dates or numbers according to Oracle's requirements. Script this transformation process for repeatability and consistency.

Before importing the data, ensure that your Oracle database has the necessary tables to receive the data. Use SQL commands to create tables with the appropriate columns and data types based on your transformation in the previous step. Ensure that the tables are indexed if necessary to optimize query performance.

Use Oracle’s SQLLoader or any built-in Oracle SQL command-line tools to load the transformed data into your Oracle database. Prepare a control file if using SQLLoader, which specifies how the data file should be read and mapped to the database tables. Execute the data load operation, monitoring for errors or issues.

After the data load, run SQL queries on your Oracle database to verify that the data was imported correctly. Check for discrepancies in record counts, field values, and data types. Perform spot checks and, if possible, automate validation scripts to ensure data integrity. Address any issues by adjusting transformations and reloading data as needed.

By following these steps, you can systematically move data from Amplitude to Oracle without relying on third-party connectors.

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.

Amplitude is a cross-platform product intelligence solution that helps companies accelerate growth by leveraging customer data to build optimum product experiences. Advertised as the digital optimization system that “helps companies build better products,” it enables companies to make informed decisions by showing how a company’s digital products drive business. Amplitude employs a proprietary Amplitude Behavioral Graph to show customers the impact of various combinations of features and actions on business outcomes.

Amplitude's API provides access to a wide range of data related to user behavior and engagement on digital platforms. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Amplitude's API:  

1. User data: This includes information about individual users such as their demographics, location, and device type.  

2. Event data: This includes data related to user actions such as clicks, page views, and purchases.  

3. Session data: This includes information about user sessions such as the duration of the session and the number of events that occurred during the session.  

4. Funnel data: This includes data related to user behavior in a specific sequence of events, such as a checkout funnel.  

5. Retention data: This includes data related to user retention, such as the percentage of users who return to the platform after a certain period of time.  

6. Revenue data: This includes data related to revenue generated by the platform, such as the total revenue and revenue per user.  

7. Cohort data: This includes data related to groups of users who share a common characteristic, such as the date they signed up for the platform.

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 Amplitude to Oracle DB 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 Amplitude to Oracle DB 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.
