"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."

Chase Zieman

“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”

Rupak Patel
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Begin by obtaining the necessary credentials to access your Azure Blob Storage. This includes the storage account name and access key. These credentials will be used to programmatically access the data stored in your Azure Blob.
Install the Azure Storage Blob and Weaviate client libraries for Python. You can do this via pip. Run the following in your terminal:
```bash
pip install azure-storage-blob weaviate-client
```
These libraries will allow you to interact with Azure Blob Storage and Weaviate directly from your Python script.
Create a Python script to initialize the Azure Blob Storage client using your credentials. Here's a basic setup:
```python
from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(account_url="https://.blob.core.windows.net", credential="")
```
Use the initialized client to list and download blobs (files) from the desired container. Here's an example of how to list blobs and download one:
```python
container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client('')
blob_list = container_client.list_blobs()
for blob in blob_list:
blob_client = container_client.get_blob_client(blob)
download_stream = blob_client.download_blob()
data = download_stream.readall()
# Process or store 'data' as needed
```
This code iterates through each blob in the container and downloads the data.
Convert the downloaded data into a format suitable for Weaviate. Typically, this involves converting it to JSON objects. Ensure that your data structure aligns with the schema defined in your Weaviate instance.
Set up the Weaviate client and define the schema to match your data structure. Here's how you can initialize the client:
```python
import weaviate
client = weaviate.Client("http://localhost:8080") # Replace with your Weaviate instance URL
```
Define the schema if it's not already set up:
```python
schema = {
"classes": [{
"class": "YourDataClass",
"properties": [
{
"name": "fieldName",
"dataType": ["string"] # Adjust data type as necessary
},
# Add more fields as needed
]
}]
}
client.schema.create(schema)
```
Use the Weaviate client to upload the prepared data. Here's an example of how to add objects to Weaviate:
```python
for data_item in your_prepared_data:
client.data_object.create(data_item, "YourDataClass")
```
This loop iterates over each prepared data item and uploads it to your Weaviate instance under the specified class.
Following these steps, you can transfer data from Azure Blob Storage to Weaviate without relying on third-party connectors or integrations, using only Python and the relevant Azure and Weaviate libraries.
FAQs
What is ETL?
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.
What is ELT?
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.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
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.
