What our users say
Andre Exner
"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
Chase Zieman
“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.”
Rupak Patel
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Begin by exporting the data from k6 Cloud. This can typically be done by using the k6 API to access the test results. You can make authenticated requests to the k6 Cloud API to retrieve your performance test data in a JSON format. Ensure you have the necessary API credentials and permissions to access this data.
Once you have the data in JSON format, store it locally on your machine or a designated server. This will serve as the intermediate step before moving the data to AWS. Ensure the data is stored securely and verify its integrity by checking the file size or using checksums.
If you haven’t already, download and install the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on your local machine or server where the data is stored. Configure the AWS CLI with the necessary credentials and region settings by running `aws configure`. This will prompt you for your AWS Access Key, Secret Key, region, and output format.
Log into the AWS Management Console and create an S3 bucket to store your k6 test data. Make sure the bucket is in the same region where you intend to set up your Data Lake. Configure the bucket permissions to allow read and write access as needed, but keep security best practices in mind to prevent unauthorized access.
Use the AWS CLI to upload the locally stored JSON data files to your S3 bucket. This can be done using the `aws s3 cp` command. For example: `aws s3 cp /path/to/your/data.json s3://your-bucket-name/`. Verify the data has been uploaded by checking in the AWS S3 console.
In AWS, navigate to AWS Glue and create a new crawler. Configure the crawler to point to your S3 bucket where the data is stored. This crawler will scan your data files and automatically create a schema for your data. Choose the appropriate IAM role that has access to the S3 bucket and Glue resources.
With the data cataloged by AWS Glue, you can now create an AWS Data Lake using the AWS Lake Formation service. Define the data lake location to be your S3 bucket and grant necessary permissions for accessing the data. Use AWS Athena to query the data or integrate it with other AWS analytics services as needed.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from k6 Cloud to an AWS Data Lake without third-party connectors, utilizing AWS-native tools and services to manage and analyze your performance test data.
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.
k6 Cloud is a commercial SaaS product that we designed to be the perfect companion to k6 OSS. It brings ease of use, team management, and continuous testing capabilities to your performance testing projects. k6 Cloud Docs assist you to learn and use k6 Cloud features and functionality. The k6 Cloud is a fully-managed load testing service that complements k6 to accelerate your performance testing. k6 is an open-source load testing tool and cloud service for developers, DevOps, QA, and SRE teams.
K6 Cloud's API provides access to various types of data related to performance testing and monitoring. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:
1. Test Results: This category includes data related to the results of performance tests, such as response times, error rates, and throughput.
2. Metrics: This category includes data related to various performance metrics, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and network traffic.
3. User Behavior: This category includes data related to user behavior during performance tests, such as the number of users, their actions, and their locations.
4. Environment: This category includes data related to the environment in which the performance tests are conducted, such as the hardware and software configurations.
5. Alerts: This category includes data related to alerts generated during performance tests, such as threshold breaches and error notifications.
6. Reports: This category includes data related to performance test reports, such as summary reports, detailed reports, and trend analysis reports.
Overall, K6 Cloud's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to analyze and optimize the performance of web applications and services.
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.
