TL;DR

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 Datascope as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up AWS Datalake as a destination connector
  3. define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

  1. A Datascope account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A AWS Datalake account.
  3. 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 Datascope and AWS Datalake, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Datascope as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Datascope source connector on Airbyte's website.

3. Enter your Datascope credentials to connect your account to Airbyte.
4. Select the specific data you want to sync from Datascope to Airbyte.
5. Choose the destination where you want to send the data.
6. Configure any necessary settings or filters for the data transfer.
7. Test the connection to ensure that the data is being transferred correctly.
8. Once the connection is successful, schedule the data transfer to occur at regular intervals or manually trigger it as needed.
9. Monitor the data transfer to ensure that it is running smoothly and troubleshoot any issues that arise.
10. Adjust the settings or filters as needed to optimize the data transfer process.

Step 2: Set up AWS Datalake as a destination connector

1. Log in to your AWS account and navigate to the AWS Management Console.
2. Click on the S3 service and create a new bucket where you will store your data.
3. Create an IAM user with the necessary permissions to access the S3 bucket. Make sure to save the access key and secret key.

  1. Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
  2. Choose your source: Select Datascope from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose AWS Datalake from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
  4. 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.
  5. Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Datascope objects you want to import data from towards AWS Datalake. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
  6. 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.
  7. Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
  8. Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Datascope to AWS Datalake according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your AWS Datalake data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Datascope data.
