How Airbyte Works

About the source and destination

Instatus

Instatus is a cloud-based platform that allows businesses to monitor and communicate the status of their services and systems to their customers in real-time. It provides a simple and intuitive dashboard that displays the current status of all services, including uptime, response time, and incident reports. Instatus also offers customizable notifications and alerts, enabling businesses to keep their customers informed of any issues or maintenance activities. With Instatus, businesses can improve their customer experience by providing transparency and reducing downtime, ultimately leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

MS SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management (RDBMS) built by Microsoft. As a database server, its primary function is to store and retrieve data upon the request of other software applications, either from the same computer or a different computer across a network—including the internet. To serve the needs of different audiences and workload sizes, Microsoft offers multiple editions (at least 12) of its Microsoft SQL Server.

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 Instatus as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up MS SQL Server 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 Instatus account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A MS SQL Server 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 Instatus and MS SQL Server, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Instatus as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the ""Sources"" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. From there, click on the ""Add Source"" button in the top right corner of the screen.
4. In the search bar, type ""Instatus"" and select the Instatus source connector from the list of available connectors.
5. Next, you will need to enter your Instatus API key. To do this, navigate to your Instatus account and generate an API key.
6. Copy the API key and paste it into the appropriate field in the Airbyte connector setup screen.
7. Once you have entered your API key, click on the ""Test"" button to ensure that the connection is working properly.
8. If the test is successful, click on the ""Save"" button to save your Instatus source connector settings.
9. You can now use your Instatus source connector to extract data from your Instatus account and integrate it with other tools and platforms through Airbyte.

Step 2: Set up MS SQL Server as a destination connector

1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Scroll down until you find the "MSSQL - SQL Server" connector and click on it.
3. Click on the "Create new destination" button.
4. Fill in the required information, including the destination name, host, port, database name, username, and password.
5. Click on the "Test connection" button to ensure that the connection is successful.
6. Once the connection is successful, click on the "Save" button to save the destination.
7. Navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source that you want to connect to the MSSQL - SQL Server destination.
8. Click on the "Create new connection" button.
9. Select the MSSQL - SQL Server destination that you just created from the drop-down menu.
10. Fill in the required information for the source, including the source name, host, port, database name, username, and password.
11. Click on the "Test connection" button to ensure that the connection is successful.
12. Once the connection is successful, click on the "Save" button to save the connection.13. You can now start syncing data from your source to your MSSQL - SQL Server destination.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Instatus data to MS SQL Server

Once you've successfully connected Instatus as a data source and MS SQL Server as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

  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 Instatus from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose MS SQL Server 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 Instatus objects you want to import data from towards MS SQL Server. 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 Instatus to MS SQL Server according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your MS SQL Server data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Instatus data.

Use Cases to transfer your Instatus data to MS SQL Server

Integrating data from Instatus to MS SQL Server provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

  1. Advanced Analytics: MS SQL Server’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Instatus data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Instatus alone.
  2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Instatus, syncing to MS SQL Server allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
  3. Historical Data Analysis: Instatus has limits on historical data. Syncing data to MS SQL Server allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
  4. Data Security and Compliance: MS SQL Server provides robust data security features. Syncing Instatus data to MS SQL Server ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
  5. Scalability: MS SQL Server can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Instatus data.
  6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Instatus data in MS SQL Server, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
  7. Reporting and Visualization: While Instatus provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to MS SQL Server, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Instatus table that needs to be converted to a MS SQL Server table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

  1. Configure a Instatus account as an Airbyte data source connector.
  2. Configure MS SQL Server as a data destination connector.
  3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Instatus to MS SQL Server 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.
