How to load data from K6 Cloud to Firebolt

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your K6 Cloud data into Firebolt within minutes.

Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines

Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.

After Airbyte

Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a K6 Cloud connector in Airbyte

Connect to or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up Firebolt for your extracted K6 Cloud data

Select where you want to import data from your source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the K6 Cloud to Firebolt in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Export Data from k6 Cloud

Begin by exporting the data you need from k6 Cloud. Use the k6 Cloud API to fetch the test results. Make use of the API endpoints provided by k6 Cloud to access the performance test data and export it in a format like JSON or CSV. Ensure you have the necessary authentication to access the data via API.

Step 2: Transform Data Locally

Once you have exported the data, transform it into a format suitable for ingestion by Firebolt. Use a scripting language like Python or a data processing tool to convert the JSON or CSV data into a structured format like Parquet or ORC, which Firebolt can efficiently process. Ensure the data schema aligns with the Firebolt table structure you plan to use.

Step 3: Prepare Firebolt Database and Table

Log into your Firebolt account and prepare the database and table where the data will be loaded. If a suitable table doesn't exist, create one using the Firebolt SQL Editor. Define the table schema to match the transformed data format, ensuring all necessary fields are included.

Step 4: Upload Data to a Cloud Storage Service

Upload the transformed data file to a cloud storage service that Firebolt can access, such as Amazon S3. Firebolt uses external tables to read data from cloud storage, so verify that the data is stored in a location accessible by Firebolt and that you have appropriate permissions set.

Step 5: Create an External Table in Firebolt

In Firebolt, create an external table linked to the data in your cloud storage. Use the `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` command in the Firebolt SQL Editor, specifying the file format and the location of the data file in the cloud storage. This step allows Firebolt to access and read the data from the storage location.

Step 6: Load Data into Firebolt Table

Use the `INSERT INTO` command in Firebolt to load data from the external table into your prepared Firebolt table. This operation reads the data from the cloud storage and inserts it into the Firebolt database. Monitor the process to ensure data is loaded correctly and efficiently.

Step 7: Verify and Clean Up

After the data load is complete, verify that all data has been transferred accurately by running queries on the Firebolt table. Check for data integrity and consistency. Once verification is complete, clean up any temporary files or resources used during the transfer process, such as deleting the data from cloud storage if no longer needed.

Following these steps will help you move data from k6 Cloud to Firebolt efficiently without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
