What our users say
"The intake layer of Datadog’s self-serve analytics platform is largely built on Airbyte.Airbyte’s ease of use and extensibility allowed any team in the company to push their data into the platform - without assistance from the data team!"
“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
“We chose Airbyte for its ease of use, its pricing scalability and its absence of vendor lock-in. Having a lean team makes them our top criteria. The value of being able to scale and execute at a high level by maximizing resources is immense”
1. Access DB2 Command Line: Log in to the IBM DB2 database server and open the DB2 command line tool.
2. Connect to the Database: Use the `db2 connect to <DB_NAME>` command to connect to the database from which you want to export data.
3. Export Data:
Determine the tables or data you want to export.
Use the `db2 export to <FILENAME> of del` command to export the data to a delimited file. Example:
```
db2 export to mytable.del of del select * from MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE
```
If you have multiple tables, repeat the export command for each table.
4. Compress Exported Data (optional): To reduce the size of the data for transfer, compress the exported files using a tool like `gzip` or `zip`.
1. Install AWS CLI: If you don't already have the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) installed, download and install it from the AWS website.
2. Configure AWS CLI:
Run `aws configure` to set up your AWS credentials (Access Key ID, Secret Access Key) and default region.
3. Create an S3 Bucket:
If you haven't already created an S3 bucket for your data lake, use the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI to create one:
```
aws s3 mb s3://your-datalake-bucket-name
```
4. Transfer Files to S3
Use the `aws s3 cp` command to copy the exported data files to the S3 bucket.
Example:
```
aws s3 cp mytable.del.gz s3://your-datalake-bucket-name/db2-export/
```
Repeat for all exported data files.
1. Set Up AWS Glue Catalog:
Create a database in AWS Glue Data Catalog to organize your data. This can be done through the AWS Glue Console or using the AWS CLI.
2. Define Data Schema:
Define the table schema in Glue Data Catalog that matches the structure of the data you exported from DB2.
3. Create IAM Roles:
Create the necessary IAM roles with permissions to access S3 and AWS Glue services.
1. Use AWS Glue
- Create an ETL job in AWS Glue to load data from the S3 bucket into your data lake.
- Choose the previously created IAM role for the job.
- Define the source as your S3 bucket and the target as the AWS Glue Data Catalog database.
- Map the source columns to the target columns as per the schema defined.
2. Run the ETL Job:
Execute the AWS Glue job to transform and load the data into the AWS Data Lake.
1. Check the Data:
- Once the ETL job is complete, verify that the data has been correctly loaded into the AWS Data Lake.
- Use services like Amazon Athena to query the data and ensure its integrity.
2. Clean Up
If necessary, remove any temporary files from S3 to avoid incurring unnecessary costs.
1. Configure Access Control:
Use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to set up the appropriate permissions for users and applications to access the data lake.
2. Enable Encryption:
Enable encryption on your S3 bucket to protect your data at rest.
3. Monitor Access
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.
Specializing in the development and maintenance of Android, iOS, and Web applications, DB2’s AI technology offers fast insights, flexible data management, and secure data movement to businesses globally through its IBM Cloud Pak for Data platform. Companies rely on DB2’s AI-powered insights and secure platform and save money with its multimodal capability, which eliminates the need for unnecessary replication and migration of data. Additionally, DB2 is convenient and will run on any cloud vendor.
IBM Db2 provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Relational data: This includes tables, views, and indexes that are organized in a relational database management system (RDBMS).
2. Non-relational data: This includes data that is not organized in a traditional RDBMS, such as NoSQL databases, JSON documents, and XML files.
3. Time-series data: This includes data that is collected over time and is typically used for analysis and forecasting, such as sensor data, financial data, and weather data.
4. Geospatial data: This includes data that is related to geographic locations, such as maps, satellite imagery, and GPS coordinates.
5. Graph data: This includes data that is organized in a graph structure, such as social networks, recommendation engines, and knowledge graphs.
6. Machine learning data: This includes data that is used to train machine learning models, such as labeled datasets, feature vectors, and model parameters.
Overall, IBM Db2's API provides access to a diverse range of data types, making it a powerful tool for data management and analysis.
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.
