Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines
Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.
After Airbyte
Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Harness connector in Airbyte

Connect to Harness or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up DynamoDB for your extracted Harness data

Select DynamoDB where you want to import data from your Harness source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Harness to DynamoDB in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync Harness to DynamoDB Manually

First, you need to export the data from Harness. Navigate to the section of the Harness platform where your data resides. Look for an export option, typically available in formats like CSV or JSON. Export the data to your local machine.

Once you have the exported data, inspect it to ensure it is in a clean and consistent format. Convert the data to JSON if it is not already, as this is the preferred format for importing into DynamoDB. Ensure that the JSON structure matches the schema of your DynamoDB table.

To interact with DynamoDB, you need the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). If it's not already installed, download and install it from the official AWS website. Follow the installation instructions specific to your operating system.

After installation, configure your AWS CLI with the necessary credentials and region. Run `aws configure` in your terminal and provide your AWS Access Key, Secret Access Key, Default Region, and output format. This step ensures that the CLI commands can authenticate with your AWS account and access DynamoDB.

Before importing data, ensure that the target DynamoDB table exists. Use the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs to create a new table if needed. Specify the table name, primary key, and any secondary indexes required for your data.

Use the AWS CLI to batch write your data into DynamoDB. Since DynamoDB has a limit of 25 items per batch write, you may need to split your data into chunks. Use the `aws dynamodb batch-write-item` command, providing the JSON file containing your data and specifying the table name. Repeat this step as needed for all your data.

After the data import process, verify that all records have been correctly imported into DynamoDB. Use the AWS Management Console or run AWS CLI queries to check the data integrity and consistency. Make any necessary adjustments if discrepancies are found.

By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer data from Harness to DynamoDB without relying on third-party tools.

FAQs

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.

The harness is the industry’s first Software Delivery stage to use AI to facilitate your DevOps processes - CI, CD & GitOps, Feature Flags, Cloud Costs, and much more. Our AI takes your distribution pipelines to the next level. You can automate yellow verifications, prioritize what tests to run, condition the impact of changes, automate cloud costs, and much more. Lead your delivery pipelines with familiar developer knowledge-YAML, Git Commits. Remove all unnecessary toil and speed up developer productivity.

Harness's API provides access to a wide range of data related to software delivery and deployment. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Harness's API:  

1. Applications: Information related to the applications being deployed, including their names, versions, and deployment status.  
2. Environments: Details about the environments where the applications are being deployed, such as their names, types, and configurations.  
3. Pipelines: Information about the pipelines used for software delivery, including their names, stages, and execution status.  
4. Workflows: Details about the workflows used for software deployment, such as their names, steps, and execution status.  
5. Artifacts: Information about the artifacts used in the software delivery process, including their names, versions, and locations.  
6. Metrics: Data related to the performance of the software delivery process, such as deployment frequency, lead time, and mean time to recovery.  
7. Logs: Details about the logs generated during the software delivery process, including their content, timestamps, and severity levels.  
8. Notifications: Information about the notifications sent during the software delivery process, such as their types, recipients, and content.

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

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.

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.
