Set up a Pardot connector in Airbyte

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

Set up S3 Glue for your extracted Pardot data

Select S3 Glue where you want to import data from your Pardot source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Pardot to S3 Glue 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 Pardot to S3 Glue Manually

Begin by exporting the data you need from Pardot. Log into your Pardot account and navigate to the specific dataset you'd like to export. Use Pardot's built-in export functionality to generate CSV files of your data. Ensure you select all required fields and apply any necessary filters before exporting.

Once the export is complete, download the CSV files to your local machine. Ensure that the data is complete and correctly formatted as per your requirements. Double-check for any anomalies or missing data that need to be addressed before proceeding.

To interact with AWS services, prepare your AWS credentials. Create an IAM user in your AWS Management Console with sufficient permissions to upload files to S3. Note down the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for this user, as you'll need them to authenticate your AWS CLI or SDK requests.

Install the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on your local machine if you haven't already. Once installed, configure the AWS CLI with your IAM user's credentials by running the command `aws configure`. Input your Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and specify the default region and output format.

Use the AWS CLI to upload your CSV files to your desired S3 bucket. Create a bucket in the AWS Management Console if you do not have one already. Use the command `aws s3 cp s3:///` to upload each file. Ensure your bucket policy allows the necessary read/write permissions for your AWS Glue operations.

Navigate to the AWS Glue Console and create a new Glue Data Catalog. Define a database and create a table schema that matches the structure of your CSV files. Use AWS Glue Crawlers to automatically infer the schema from the data in your S3 bucket, or manually create the schema if necessary.

Create and run AWS Glue ETL jobs to transform your data as needed. Define your ETL logic using AWS Glue Studio, Pyspark scripts, or the Glue console. Specify the source as your S3 bucket and the target as another S3 location or a different data store. Execute the job and monitor its progress through the AWS Glue Console, ensuring the data is transformed and loaded correctly.

By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Pardot to Amazon S3 and prepare it for processing with AWS Glue, all without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.

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.

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 Pardot to S3 Glue 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 Pardot to S3 Glue 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.
