What our users say
Andre Exner
"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."
To begin moving data from BigQuery, you first need to export it to Google Cloud Storage (GCS). Access the BigQuery console and navigate to the dataset you wish to export. Use the "Export" function to save your data as CSV or JSON files in a GCS bucket. Ensure that the data is split into manageable sizes to avoid processing issues later.
Once your data is exported to GCS, download it to a local machine. You can do this via the Google Cloud Console by selecting the files and using the download option, or by using the `gsutil` command-line tool if you prefer a command-line approach. Make sure all the necessary files are downloaded before proceeding.
Before uploading data to Starburst Galaxy, ensure your local environment is ready. This includes having a stable internet connection and adequate storage space. Organize your downloaded files in a manner that makes them easy to locate and upload. Verify the integrity of the files by checking their sizes and contents.
Log into your Starburst Galaxy account via the web console. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one and set up your environment. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create new data catalogs and schemas within the platform.
In the Starburst Galaxy console, navigate to the "Catalogs" section. Create a new catalog that will host your BigQuery data. Configure the catalog settings according to your data requirements, such as defining the appropriate storage format (e.g., CSV, JSON) and any relevant data processing options.
Using the Starburst Galaxy interface, upload your data files from your local machine to the newly created catalog. Follow the upload prompts, ensuring that you select the correct file formats and specify the schema details accurately, such as column names and data types, to match the original BigQuery dataset structure.
After uploading, verify that your data has been correctly imported into Starburst Galaxy by running exploratory queries. Check for data integrity by comparing row counts and random samples against the original data in BigQuery. Ensure that all expected data is accessible and that performance meets your requirements. Make any necessary adjustments based on your findings to ensure the data is ready for use.
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.
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.
BigQuery provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Structured data: This includes data that is organized into tables with defined columns and data types, such as CSV, JSON, and Avro files.
2. Semi-structured data: This includes data that has some structure, but not necessarily a fixed schema, such as XML and JSON files.
3. Unstructured data: This includes data that has no predefined structure, such as text, images, and videos.
4. Time-series data: This includes data that is organized by time, such as stock prices, weather data, and sensor readings.
5. Geospatial data: This includes data that is related to geographic locations, such as maps, GPS coordinates, and spatial databases.
6. Machine learning data: This includes data that is used to train machine learning models, such as labeled datasets and feature vectors.
7. Streaming data: This includes data that is generated in real-time, such as social media feeds, IoT sensor data, and log files.
Overall, BigQuery's API provides access to a wide range of data types, making it a powerful tool for data analysis and machine learning.
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.
