What our users say
Andre Exner
"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
Chase Zieman
“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.”
Rupak Patel
"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 ensuring that you have an AWS account with the necessary permissions to access AWS Glue, S3, and IAM. Log into the AWS Management Console and navigate to the AWS Glue service to start setting up your environment.
Go to the S3 service in your AWS Management Console and create a new bucket where you will store your data. Ensure the bucket is in the same region as AWS Glue to avoid cross-region data transfer issues. Set the appropriate permissions to allow AWS Glue to write to this bucket.
Upload your Parquet file to a source location accessible by AWS Glue. This can be an existing S3 bucket. Make sure that the IAM role used by AWS Glue has read access to this bucket.
In AWS Glue, create a crawler to read the schema from your Parquet file. Configure the crawler to point to the S3 bucket where your Parquet file is located. Set the crawler to create a new database or select an existing one to store the metadata.
Execute the crawler to extract the schema information from your Parquet file. Once the crawler completes, navigate to the Glue Data Catalog to verify that the schema was correctly interpreted and stored.
Create a new ETL job in AWS Glue. Configure the job to use the data source (from the Data Catalog) identified by the crawler. Specify the target as your new S3 bucket. Ensure that the IAM role associated with the Glue job has the necessary permissions to read from the source and write to the target S3 bucket.
Execute the ETL job. Monitor the job through the AWS Glue Console to ensure it runs successfully. Once completed, go to your target S3 bucket and verify that the data has been transferred correctly. Check the data format and integrity to ensure the process was successful.
By following these steps, you can move data from a Parquet file to S3 using AWS Glue without relying on third-party tools 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.
Parquet File is a columnar storage file format that is designed to store and process large amounts of data efficiently. It is an open-source project that was developed by Cloudera and Twitter. Parquet File is optimized for use with Hadoop and other big data processing frameworks, and it is designed to work well with both structured and unstructured data. The format is highly compressed, which makes it ideal for storing and processing large datasets. Parquet File is also designed to be highly scalable, which means that it can be used to store and process data across multiple nodes in a distributed computing environment.
Parquet File's API gives access to various types of data, including:
• Structured data: Parquet files can store structured data in a columnar format, making it easy to query and analyze large datasets.
• Semi-structured data: Parquet files can also store semi-structured data, such as JSON or XML, allowing for more flexibility in data storage.
• Unstructured data: Parquet files can store unstructured data, such as text or binary data, making it possible to store a wide range of data types in a single file.
• Big data: Parquet files are designed for big data applications, allowing for efficient storage and processing of large datasets.
• Machine learning data: Parquet files are commonly used in machine learning applications, as they can store large amounts of data in a format that is optimized for processing by machine learning algorithms.
Overall, Parquet File's API provides access to a wide range of data types, making it a versatile tool for data storage and analysis in a variety of applications.
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.
