Predictable, straightforward pricing model that simplified budgeting and significantly reduced overall spend

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."
How to Sync to Manually
Step 1: Export Data from Plausible Analytics
Begin by exporting your data from Plausible Analytics. Plausible provides an API that you can use to extract data. Use the API to programmatically download the data in a format like JSON or CSV. Ensure you have the necessary API keys and permissions set up in Plausible to access and extract the data.
Step 2: Set Up AWS S3 Bucket
Log in to your AWS Management Console and navigate to S3. Create a new S3 bucket to store the exported data. Ensure that you configure the bucket with the appropriate permissions and policies to allow for data uploads. Note the bucket name and region, as these will be required for subsequent steps.
Step 3: Upload Data to S3
Use AWS CLI or a programming language SDK (such as Boto3 for Python) to upload the exported data from your local system to the S3 bucket. Ensure the data is uploaded to the correct bucket and path. You might use a script to automate this process if you're dealing with large datasets or require frequent uploads.
Step 4: Set Up AWS Glue Crawler
In the AWS Management Console, navigate to AWS Glue. Set up a new Glue Crawler that will scan your S3 bucket to determine the schema of your data. Configure the crawler to point to the path in your S3 bucket where the data is stored. Run the crawler to populate the AWS Glue Data Catalog with metadata about your dataset.
Step 5: Create AWS Glue ETL Job
Once the data schema is available in the Glue Data Catalog, create a new Glue ETL job. This job will process and transform your data as needed. You can write the ETL script in Python (using PySpark) within the Glue console or use an external IDE. Configure the job to read from the source table created by the crawler.
Step 6: Configure Job Output to S3
In your Glue job script, define the output of your ETL process. Specify an S3 bucket and path where the transformed data should be stored. This could be the same bucket or a different one, depending on your data architecture needs. Ensure the output format is suitable for your downstream applications or analytics processes.
Step 7: Schedule and Monitor ETL Jobs
Use AWS Glue's scheduling feature to automate the execution of your ETL jobs at specified intervals. This will ensure that data from Plausible Analytics is regularly processed and updated in your S3 bucket. Additionally, monitor the execution of these jobs using AWS CloudWatch or Glue's built-in monitoring to ensure they are running correctly and troubleshoot any issues that arise.
By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from Plausible Analytics to AWS S3, and use AWS Glue to process it, without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
