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 Mailjet Mail connector in Airbyte

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

Set up Apache Iceberg for your extracted Mailjet Mail data

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

Configure the Mailjet Mail to Apache Iceberg 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 Mailjet Mail to Apache Iceberg Manually

Begin by accessing your Mailjet account's data using the Mailjet API. Ensure you have your API key and secret ready. Use these credentials to authenticate and make API requests to fetch the required mail data, such as email logs and statistics. Refer to Mailjet's API documentation to understand the endpoints and parameters necessary for data retrieval.

Once you've retrieved the data from Mailjet, export it to a manageable local format. Common formats include CSV, JSON, or Avro, depending on your preference and the structure of the data. This step involves writing a script or using command-line tools to save the fetched data into files on your local system.

Apache Iceberg is built on top of the Hadoop ecosystem, so you'll need to set up a Hadoop environment if you haven't already. Install Hadoop on a local server or a virtual machine and configure it to your requirements. Ensure HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) is operational, as it will store the data files.

Download and install Apache Iceberg into your Hadoop environment. Iceberg can be integrated with various query engines like Apache Spark, so ensure compatibility with your chosen engine. Follow the official Iceberg documentation for installation instructions, ensuring all dependencies are correctly set up.

Apache Iceberg works efficiently with columnar formats like Parquet. Convert your exported local data files into Parquet format. Use a data processing tool or script capable of reading your local data format and writing it to Parquet. This step ensures your data is optimized for Iceberg's storage and query capabilities.

With your data now in Parquet format, load it into HDFS. Use Hadoop's command-line tools like `hdfs dfs -put` to transfer the Parquet files from your local system to the appropriate directory in HDFS. Ensure the directory structure in HDFS aligns with your data organization strategy for optimal querying and management.

Finally, create Iceberg tables and import your data. Use a query engine like Apache Spark with Iceberg support to define the schema for your tables and load the Parquet files from HDFS into these Iceberg tables. Execute SQL commands or use an API to create tables and insert data, ensuring that your data is now accessible through Apache Iceberg for further analysis and processing.

FAQs

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.

Mailjet Mail is an email marketing platform that allows businesses to create, send, and track email campaigns. It offers a user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop tools for designing emails, as well as advanced features such as segmentation, automation, and A/B testing. Mailjet Mail also provides real-time analytics to track the performance of email campaigns, including open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates. With its robust API, Mailjet Mail can integrate with other marketing tools and platforms, making it a versatile solution for businesses of all sizes. Overall, Mailjet Mail helps businesses to engage with their customers and drive conversions through effective email marketing.

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 Mailjet Mail to Apache Iceberg as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from Mailjet Mail to Apache Iceberg and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
