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.

Manual Method to integrate HubSpot to Redshift - Using COPY Command

Manually loading data from HubSpot to Amazon Redshift is an alternative option that includes several detailed steps. We’ll proceed by extracting tasks from the HubSpot account and saving them as CSV files, subsequently transferring them into the S3 bucket before loading them into Amazon Redshift. Below is the comprehensive step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites

  • HubSpot account with the necessary permission to extract data.
  • Ensure that you have an Amazon Redshift cluster. If not, create one using AWS Management Console or AWS CLI.
  • Create an IAM role that has the required permissions to read data from the S3 bucket containing your CSV file.

Step 1: Extract HubSpot Data

Begin by extracting HubSpot data depending on the version of your HubSpot account. Here are some common types of data that you can export from HubSpot: contacts, companies, products, emails, pages, files, tasks, and more. When exporting data from HubSpot, you typically have the option to export it in various formats, such as CSV (Comma-Separated-Values) or Excel. Let’s proceed to download tasks from the HubSpot account in CSV format:

  • After logging into your account, navigate to Reporting > Reports > Create Report.
  • In the search bar, type Tasks.
  • Click the type of tasks you wish to download and provide the necessary information. 
  • Click on Action and select Export from the drop-down.
  • Enter the name for the export file and select the file format as CSV.
  • Click Export.
  • You’ll receive an email with a download link. Download the file and save it to your local machine.

Alternatively, if you’ve hands-on experience with coding, you can export specific data from HubSpot using Python and the HubSpot API to extract HubSpot data.

Step 2: Transform Data

Once the CSV file/s is downloaded to your machine, initiate the data cleaning process by checking for anomalies and inconsistencies.

Verify the data structure, duplicate rows, and special characters. You would also need to handle missing values by either removing them or imputing appropriate values. 

Confirm data types and structure of CSV files match with Redshift tables in order to maintain data accuracy. 

After cleaning, perform quality assurance checks to validate that the data aligns with expectations and is ready for uploading in the S3 bucket. 

Step 3: Upload into Amazon S3 Bucket 

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage service provided by Amazon. It serves as a staging area for your data before it is loaded into the Redshift. To load data into the S3 bucket:

  • Log in to your AWS account and access the AWS S3 service. 
  • Create a new S3 bucket or choose the existing one in which you intend to upload the file.
  • Once you open the specific S3 bucket, click on the Upload button.
  • Either drag or drop the file or folder in the Upload window or click on Add Files or Add Folder and select the files.
  • Click on the Upload button at the bottom of the page. S3 will start uploading your CSV files from the local machine to the S3 bucket. On successful transfer, you’ll receive a message on the Upload status page.

Step 4: Load to Amazon Redshift

With the help of COPY command, you can pull the data stored in S3 to Redshift tables. Define the Redshift table name, S3 bucket path, AWS credentials, and file format as CSV in the Redshift SQL client or query editor:

COPY redshift_table_name FROM 's3://your-s3-bucket/your-file.csv' credentials 'aws_access_key_id=Your-Access-Key-ID;aws_secret_access_key=Your-Secret-Access-Key'CSV;

After executing the above command, your data from HubSpot will be successfully loaded into the Redshift table.

While the manual method using the COPY command seems straightforward, it comes with certain limitations that should be considered:

  • Latency: The manual transfer of data introduces delay as it relies on human intervention to initiate and complete the process. This delay can impact data availability in Amazon Redshift, particularly for time-sensitive scenarios and reporting requirements. 
  • Repetitive ETL Process: Manual HubSpot to Redshift process demands the repetition of each step for every CSV file. This can be time-consuming as well as error-prone.

Wrapping Up

You’ve learned two approaches to connect HubSpot to Redshift. Both approaches have their use cases and set of benefits.

The manual approach involving CSV files and the COPY command may be suitable for specific scenarios where a hands-on, one-time transfer is sufficient. However, it does have limitations like latency and repetitive ETL processes.

Automating these processes through tools like Airbyte can streamline your data workflows, reduce the risk of human error, and ensure consistent data flow over time.
