How to load data from Pendo to S3 Glue

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Pendo data into S3 Glue within minutes.

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.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Export Data from Pendo

First, log into your Pendo account and navigate to the reports or data section from which you want to export data. Utilize Pendo's built-in functionality to export data in a format such as CSV or JSON. Most platforms offer a way to download data directly, so look for an "export" or "download" button.

Step 2: Store Exported Data Locally

Save the exported file to a local directory on your machine. Ensure you have a systematic naming convention and folder structure to keep track of the files, especially if you plan to perform this task regularly.

Step 3: Set Up AWS Command Line Interface (CLI)

If not already installed, download and install the AWS CLI on your local machine. Configure it with your AWS credentials by running `aws configure`. You will need your Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Default Region Name, and Default Output Format.

Step 4: Create an S3 Bucket

Log in to your AWS Management Console and navigate to the S3 service. Create a new S3 bucket where you will upload the Pendo data. Make sure to set the appropriate permissions and region settings for your needs.

Step 5: Upload Data to S3

Use the AWS CLI to upload your exported data file to the S3 bucket you created. The command will look something like this:
```
aws s3 cp /path/to/local/file.csv s3://your-bucket-name/
```
Replace `/path/to/local/file.csv` with the path to your local file and `your-bucket-name` with the name of your S3 bucket.

Step 6: Set Up AWS Glue Crawler

In the AWS Management Console, navigate to the AWS Glue service and create a new Crawler. Configure the crawler to use the S3 bucket as the data source. Set the appropriate IAM role, and define the database where the metadata will be stored. Run the crawler to catalog the data.

Step 7: Query Data with AWS Glue or Athena

Once the crawler has successfully cataloged the data, you can use AWS Glue to transform the data or use Amazon Athena to query it. Athena allows you to run SQL queries against the data in S3 directly. Ensure that the AWS Glue Data Catalog is selected as the data source in Athena.

By following these steps, you can manually move data from Pendo to AWS S3 and set it up for processing with AWS Glue, without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
