What our users say


"The intake layer of Datadog’s self-serve analytics platform is largely built on Airbyte.Airbyte’s ease of use and extensibility allowed any team in the company to push their data into the platform - without assistance from the data team!"


“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.”


“We chose Airbyte for its ease of use, its pricing scalability and its absence of vendor lock-in. Having a lean team makes them our top criteria. The value of being able to scale and execute at a high level by maximizing resources is immense”
1. Install Redis:
- Download and install Redis from the official website or use a package manager if you are on Linux.
- Start the Redis server on your local machine or remote server.
2. Install SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS):
- Download and install SSMS if you haven't already to manage your SQL Server instance.
- Connect to your SQL Server instance using SSMS.
3. Install Development Tools:
- Choose a programming language that you are comfortable with and which has support for both SQL Server and Redis clients (e.g., Python, C#, Java).
- Install the necessary SDKs or development tools for that language.
1. Write a Query to Select Data:
- Write a SQL query to select the data you want to move to Redis. Make sure the data is in the correct format for Redis.
2. Connect to SQL Server in Your Code:
- Use the appropriate SQL Server client library for your chosen language to connect to the SQL Server database.
- Execute the query to fetch the data.
1. Data Conversion:
- Convert the data into a format suitable for Redis. Redis typically stores data as strings, hashes, lists, sets, or sorted sets.
- Ensure that the data types and structures are compatible with how you intend to access them in Redis.
1. Connect to Redis in Your Code:
- Use the Redis client library for your chosen language to connect to the Redis server.
- Ensure you handle authentication and select the appropriate database if needed.
2. Write Data to Redis:
- Use the Redis client's API to write the data to Redis.
- Choose the appropriate Redis data structures (e.g., SET, HSET, LPUSH) based on your data's nature and intended use.
1. Check the Data:
- After loading the data, verify that the data in Redis is correct and consistent with what was in SQL Server.
- You can write a script to fetch some data from Redis and compare it with the original data from SQL Server.
1. Create a Script:
- Combine the steps above into a single script or application that can be executed with a single command.
- Add error handling and logging to make sure you can troubleshoot any issues that arise.
2. Schedule the Script:
- If you need to move data regularly, consider using a task scheduler like cron on Linux or Task Scheduler on Windows to run your script at regular intervals.
Example Code Snippet (Python)
Here's a simplified example using Python with `pyodbc` for SQL Server and `redis-py` for Redis:
```python
import pyodbc
import redis
# SQL Server connection
conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};SERVER=your_server;DATABASE=your_db;UID=your_user;PWD=your_password')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT key_column, value_column FROM your_table')
# Redis connection
r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0, password='your_password')
# Transfer data
for row in cursor:
key = row.key_column
value = row.value_column
r.set(key, value)
# Close connections
cursor.close()
conn.close()
```
Replace `your_server`, `your_db`, `your_user`, `your_password`, `key_column`, `value_column`, and `your_table` with your actual SQL Server details and the appropriate column names and table from which you want to extract data.
Note: This is a very basic example and doesn't include error handling, data transformation, or complex data structures. You will need to modify this code to fit your specific use case and ensure robustness for production use.
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 SQL Server Consultants help businesses resolve questions and issues, provide businesses with reliable information resources, and, ultimately, make better decisions on the software most appropriate for their unique needs. Consultants are available to help on call and can connect remotely to businesses’ computers to upgrade outdated editions of SQL servers to bring functions up to date for improved productivity.
MSSQL - SQL Server provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Relational data: This includes tables, views, and stored procedures that are used to store and manipulate data in a structured format.
2. Non-relational data: This includes data that is not stored in a structured format, such as XML documents, JSON objects, and binary data.
3. Spatial data: This includes data that is related to geographic locations, such as maps, coordinates, and spatial queries.
4. Time-series data: This includes data that is related to time, such as timestamps, dates, and time intervals.
5. Graph data: This includes data that is related to relationships between entities, such as social networks, supply chains, and organizational structures.
6. Machine learning data: This includes data that is used for training and testing machine learning models, such as feature vectors, labels, and performance metrics.
7. Streaming data: This includes data that is generated in real-time, such as sensor data, log files, and social media feeds.
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.
