BigQuery is a cloud-based data warehousing and analytics platform that allows users to store, manage, and analyze large amounts of data in real-time. It is a fully managed service that eliminates the need for users to manage their own infrastructure, and it offers a range of features such as SQL querying, machine learning, and data visualization. BigQuery is designed to handle petabyte-scale datasets and can be used for a variety of use cases, including business intelligence, data exploration, and predictive analytics. It is a powerful tool for organizations looking to gain insights from their data and make data-driven decisions.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that supports key–value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. DynamoDB exposes a similar data model to and derives its name from Dynamo, but has a different underlying implementation.
1. First, you need to have a Google Cloud Platform account and a project with BigQuery enabled.
2. Go to the Google Cloud Console and create a new service account with the necessary permissions to access your BigQuery data.
3. Download the JSON key file for the service account and keep it safe.
4. Open Airbyte and go to the Sources page.
5. Click on the "Create a new source" button and select "BigQuery" from the list of available sources.
6. Enter a name for your source and click on "Next".
7. In the "Connection Configuration" section, enter the following information:
- Project ID: the ID of your Google Cloud Platform project
- JSON Key: copy and paste the contents of the JSON key file you downloaded earlier
- Dataset: the name of the dataset you want to connect to
8. Click on "Test Connection" to make sure everything is working correctly.
9. If the test is successful, click on "Create Source" to save your configuration.
10. You can now use your BigQuery source connector to extract data from your dataset and load it into Airbyte for further processing.
1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Scroll down until you find the "DynamoDB" connector and click on it.
3. Click on the "Create new connection" button.
4. Enter a name for your connection and click on the "Next" button.
5. Enter your AWS access key ID and secret access key in the appropriate fields.
6. Enter the name of the DynamoDB table you want to connect to.
7. Choose the region where your DynamoDB table is located.
8. Click on the "Test connection" button to ensure that your credentials are correct and that the connection is successful.
9. If the test is successful, click on the "Create connection" button to save your settings.
10. You can now use the DynamoDB destination connector to transfer data from your source to your DynamoDB table.
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.
We look forward to seeing you make use of it! We invite you to join the conversation on our community Slack Channel, or sign up for our newsletter. You should also check out other Airbyte tutorials, and Airbyte’s content hub!
