What is Coda

Coda is a comprehensive solution that combines documents, spreadsheets, and building tools into a single platform. With this tool, project managers can track OKRs while also brainstorming with their teams.

What is Apache Iceberg

For huge analytical tables, Apache Iceberg is a high-performance format. Using Apache Iceberg, engines such as Spark, Trino, Flink, Presto, Hive and Impala can safely work with the same tables, at the same time, providing the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data. With Apache Iceberg, you can merge new data, update existing rows, and delete specific rows. Data files can be eagerly rewritten or deleted deltas can be used to make updates faster.

Prerequisites

A Coda account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Apache Iceberg 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 Coda and Apache Iceberg, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Coda as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Coda source connector page on Airbyte.com.
2. Click on the "Create new connection" button.
3. Enter a name for your connection and click "Next".
4. In the "Configure your Coda connection" section, enter your Coda API token. You can find instructions on how to generate an API token in the Coda API documentation.
5. Next, enter the ID of the Coda document you want to connect to. You can find the document ID in the URL of the document.
6. Select the tables you want to replicate from the document.
7. Click "Test connection" to ensure that your credentials are correct and the connection is successful.
8. If the test is successful, click "Create connection" to save your settings and start replicating data from Coda to Airbyte.

Note: It is important to ensure that your Coda API token has the necessary permissions to access the tables you want to replicate. You can check the permissions of your API token in the Coda API settings.

Step 2: Set up Apache Iceberg as a destination connector

1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Apache Iceberg" destination connector and select "Create new connection."
3. Enter a name for your connection and provide the necessary credentials for your Apache Iceberg database, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
4. Test the connection to ensure that it is successful. 5. Select the tables or data sources that you want to replicate to your Apache Iceberg database.
6. Configure any additional settings or options for your connection, such as the frequency of data replication or any transformations that you want to apply to your data.
7. Save your connection and start the replication process.
8. Monitor the progress of your data replication and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
9. Once the replication process is complete, verify that your data has been successfully replicated to your Apache Iceberg database.
10. Use your Apache Iceberg database to analyze and query your data as needed.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Coda data to Apache Iceberg

Once you've successfully connected Coda as a data source and Apache Iceberg 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 Coda from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Apache Iceberg 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 Coda objects you want to import data from towards Apache Iceberg. 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 Coda to Apache Iceberg according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Apache Iceberg data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Coda data.

Use Cases to transfer your Coda data to Apache Iceberg

Integrating data from Coda to Apache Iceberg provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

Advanced Analytics: Apache Iceberg’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Coda data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Coda alone.
Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Coda, syncing to Apache Iceberg 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: Coda has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Apache Iceberg allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
Data Security and Compliance: Apache Iceberg provides robust data security features. Syncing Coda data to Apache Iceberg ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
Scalability: Apache Iceberg can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Coda data.
Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Coda data in Apache Iceberg, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
Reporting and Visualization: While Coda provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Apache Iceberg, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Coda table that needs to be converted to a Apache Iceberg table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a Coda account as an Airbyte data source connector.
Configure Apache Iceberg as a data destination connector.
Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Coda to Apache Iceberg 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.

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 Coda?

What data can you extract from Coda?

Coda's API provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Documents: Access to all the documents in a user's Coda account, including their metadata and content.
2. Tables: Access to the tables within a document, including their columns, rows, and cell values.
3. Rows: Access to individual rows within a table, including their cell values and metadata.
4. Columns: Access to individual columns within a table, including their cell values and metadata.
5. Formulas: Access to the formulas within a table, including their syntax and results.
6. Views: Access to the views within a table, including their filters, sorts, and groupings.
7. Users: Access to the users within a Coda account, including their metadata and permissions.
8. Groups: Access to the groups within a Coda account, including their metadata and membership.
9. Integrations: Access to the integrations within a Coda account, including their metadata and configuration.
10. Webhooks: Access to the webhooks within a Coda account, including their metadata and configuration.

Overall, Coda's API provides a comprehensive set of data types that developers can use to build powerful integrations and applications.

How do I transfer data from Coda?

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 Coda to Apache Iceberg 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 Coda to Apache Iceberg and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

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.
