What our users say
"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
“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.”
"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 accessing your Dataverse data using the Microsoft Dataverse API. You will need to authenticate using OAuth 2.0 to obtain an access token. Use this token to make HTTP requests to the Dataverse Web API and retrieve the desired data. Familiarize yourself with the API documentation to understand the available endpoints and query capabilities.
Once you have access to the data via the API, write a script in a programming language like Python or PowerShell to extract the data and convert it into CSV format. Ensure that you handle pagination if your data set is large, and include error handling to manage potential API request failures.
Set up your Databricks environment if you haven't already. This involves creating a Databricks workspace and cluster. Ensure that your cluster is configured with the necessary resources and libraries, such as AWS or Azure configurations, depending on your cloud service provider.
After exporting the data to CSV files, upload these files to your cloud storage service linked with Databricks, such as AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage. Use the respective cloud storage service's SDK or CLI tools to securely transfer the files to the designated storage bucket or container.
In your Databricks notebook, mount the cloud storage location where you uploaded the CSV files. This involves using the Databricks File System (DBFS) mount command to create a mount point that allows Databricks to access data from your cloud storage seamlessly.
Use Databricks notebooks to write a script that reads the CSV files from the mounted storage location. Utilize Spark's `read.csv` function to load the data into a DataFrame. Ensure that you define the appropriate schema and handle data cleaning and transformations as necessary to prepare the data for further processing.
Finally, write the DataFrame to the Databricks Lakehouse using the Delta Lake format for optimized storage and performance. Use the `write.format("delta").save("/path/to/delta/table")` method to save the data. This format supports ACID transactions and enables efficient data management and querying in the Databricks Lakehouse.
By following these steps, you will successfully move data from Microsoft Dataverse to the Databricks Lakehouse without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
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.
Microsoft Dataverse provides access to the org-based database on Microsoft Dataverse in the current environment This connector was anciently known as Common Data Service. Microsoft Dataverse is one kind of data storage and management engine serving as a foundation for Microsoft’s Power Platform, Office 365, and Dynamics 365 apps. It can easily decouple the data from the application, permitting an administrator to analyze from every possible angle and report on data previously existing in different locations.
Microsoft Dataverse's API provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Entities: These are the primary data objects in Dataverse, such as accounts, contacts, and leads.
2. Fields: These are the individual data elements within an entity, such as name, address, and phone number.
3. Relationships: These define the connections between entities, such as the relationship between a contact and an account.
4. Business rules: These are rules that govern how data is entered and processed within Dataverse.
5. Workflows: These are automated processes that can be triggered by specific events or conditions within Dataverse.
6. Plugins: These are custom code modules that can be used to extend the functionality of Dataverse.
7. Web resources: These are files such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS that can be used to customize the user interface of Dataverse.
Overall, the Dataverse API provides access to a wide range of data types and functionality, making it a powerful tool for developers and users alike.
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.
