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:

set up JSON File as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
set up Typesense as a destination connector
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.

What is JSON File

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is a text format that is used to transmit data between a server and a web application as an alternative to XML. JSON files consist of key-value pairs, where the key is a string and the value can be a string, number, boolean, null, array, or another JSON object. JSON is widely used in web development and is supported by most programming languages. It is also used for storing configuration data, logging, and data exchange between different systems.

What is Typesense

Typesense is an open-source, typo-tolerant search engine optimized for an instant (typically sub-50ms) search-like-up-type experience and developer productivity. If you've heard of Elasticsearch or Algolia, a good way to think about Typesense is that it's an open source alternative to Algolia, with some key issues fixed and an easy-to-use battery-powered alternative to Elasticsearch.It works like a CDN, but for Search. Deploy nodes around the world, closest to your users, to provide them an ultra-fast search experience.

Prerequisites

A JSON File account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Typesense 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 JSON File and Typesense, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up JSON File as a source connector

1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "JSON File" source connector and select "Create new connection".
3. Enter a name for your connection and click "Next".
4. In the "Configuration" tab, enter the path to your JSON file in the "File Path" field. You can also specify a file pattern if you have multiple files with similar names.
5. If your JSON file is password-protected, enter the password in the "Password" field.
6. If your JSON file requires authentication, select the appropriate authentication method (Basic, OAuth2, or Custom) and enter the necessary credentials.
7. Click "Test" to ensure that your connection is working properly.
8. If the test is successful, click "Create" to save your connection.
9. You can now use your JSON File source connector to extract data from your JSON file and load it into your destination of choice.

Step 2: Set up Typesense as a destination connector

1. First, navigate to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the Typesense destination connector and click on it.
4. You will be prompted to enter your Typesense API key. Enter this information and click "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful.
5. If the connection is successful, click "Save" to save your Typesense destination connector settings.
6. Next, navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source that you want to connect to your Typesense destination.
7. Follow the prompts to enter the necessary information for your source connector, such as the API key or database credentials.
8. Once you have entered all of the necessary information, click "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful.
9. If the connection is successful, click "Save" to save your source connector settings.
10. Finally, click on the "Sync" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source and destination connectors that you want to use for your data sync.
11. Follow the prompts to set up your data sync, such as selecting the tables or data types that you want to sync.
12. Once you have completed all of the necessary steps, click "Start Sync" to begin syncing your data between your source and Typesense destination connectors.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your JSON File data to Typesense

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

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Typesense data warehouse is always up-to-date with your JSON File data.

Use Cases to transfer your JSON File data to Typesense

Integrating data from JSON File to Typesense provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

Advanced Analytics: Typesense’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your JSON File data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within JSON File alone.
Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with JSON File, syncing to Typesense 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.
Historical Data Analysis: JSON File has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Typesense allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
Data Security and Compliance: Typesense provides robust data security features. Syncing JSON File data to Typesense ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
Scalability: Typesense can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding JSON File data.
Data Science and Machine Learning: By having JSON File data in Typesense, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
Reporting and Visualization: While JSON File provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Typesense, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a JSON File table that needs to be converted to a Typesense table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a JSON File account as an Airbyte data source connector.
