What is Harness

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.

What is Redshift

A fully managed data warehouse service in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, Amazon Redshift is designed for storage and analysis of large-scale datasets. Redshift allows businesses to scale from a few hundred gigabytes to more than a petabyte (a million gigabytes), and utilizes ML techniques to analyze queries, offering businesses new insights from their data. Users can query and combine exabytes of data using standard SQL, and easily save their query results to their S3 data lake.

Prerequisites

A Harness account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Redshift 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 Harness and Redshift, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Harness as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Harness dashboard and select the "Connectors" tab from the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the "Add Connector" button and select "Airbyte" from the list of available connectors.
3. In the "Connection Settings" section, enter the URL for your Airbyte instance.
4. Next, enter the API key for your Airbyte instance in the "API Key" field.
5. In the "Source Settings" section, select the source connector you want to connect to Harness.
6. Enter the necessary credentials for the selected source connector, such as the username and password.
7. Click the "Test Connection" button to ensure that the connection is successful.
8. If the connection is successful, click the "Save" button to save the connector configuration.
9. You can now use the connector in your Harness workflows to extract data from the source connector and load it into your destination system.

Step 2: Set up Redshift as a destination connector

1. First, log in to your Airbyte account and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Add Destination" button and select "Redshift" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter your Redshift database credentials, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
4. Choose the schema you want to use for your data in Redshift.
5. Select the tables you want to sync from your source connector to Redshift.
6. Map the fields from your source connector to the corresponding fields in Redshift.
7. Choose the sync mode you want to use, either "append" or "replace."
8. Set up any additional options or filters you want to use for your sync.
9. Test your connection to ensure that your data is syncing correctly.
10. Once you are satisfied with your settings, save your configuration and start your sync.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Harness data to Redshift

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

Reporting and Visualization: While Harness provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Redshift, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Harness table that needs to be converted to a Redshift table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a Harness account as an Airbyte data source connector.
Configure Redshift as a data destination connector.
Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Harness to Redshift 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 Harness?

What data can you extract from Harness?

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.

How do I transfer data from Harness?

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 Redshift 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 Redshift 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.
