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.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Primetric connector in Airbyte

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

Set up DynamoDB for your extracted Primetric data

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

Configure the Primetric to DynamoDB 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 Primetric to DynamoDB Manually

Begin by thoroughly analyzing the data structure and schema in Primetric. Identify all the tables, fields, and data types. This understanding is crucial for effective data mapping to DynamoDB. Document any relationships, constraints, and dependencies that exist within your Primetric data model.

Log in to your AWS Management Console and create a new DynamoDB table or tables that will store the imported data. Define the primary key (partition key and optional sort key) for each table based on how you plan to query your data. Configure the read and write capacity, keeping in mind the expected traffic and data size.

Extract the data from Primetric by using its built-in export functionality, if available, to download data as CSV or JSON files. If no direct export option exists, you'll need to use Primetric's API to programmatically extract data. Understand Primetric's API documentation to write scripts that can pull the required data.

Once the data is exported, you might need to transform it to make it compatible with DynamoDB. Use Python, Node.js, or another programming language to convert the data format if necessary (e.g., from CSV to JSON). During this process, clean the data by handling null values, ensuring data types match the DynamoDB schema, and addressing any inconsistencies.

Install and configure the AWS SDK for the programming language you are using (e.g., Boto3 for Python, AWS SDK for JavaScript, etc.). Ensure you have the necessary AWS credentials with permissions to write to DynamoDB. This SDK will be used to interact with your DynamoDB tables programmatically.

Develop scripts that read the transformed data and insert it into DynamoDB. Use batched writes to efficiently handle large volumes of data, keeping in line with DynamoDB's limits on item size and batch write operations. Implement error handling to manage and log any issues during the data insertion process.

After the data insertion completes, manually verify the accuracy of the data in DynamoDB. Use the AWS Management Console to inspect some sample entries. Additionally, write and run queries to compare source data from Primetric to the data now in DynamoDB to ensure completeness and accuracy. Adjust scripts and re-run the insertion process if discrepancies are found.

By following these steps, you can manually migrate data from Primetric to DynamoDB without relying on third-party 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.

Prometric has a lot of tools that make working in an IT company easier. Prometric is a big-picture solution for executives who want to see their company's condition. Prometric is a resource, project, and finance management platform dedicated to IT business services. Prometric is a resource, project, and financial management platform dedicated to IT business services. Prometric also is an internal database of developers and projects used to forecast and track individuals' availability, margins, and project progress.

Primetric's API provides access to a wide range of data related to website analytics and performance. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:  

1. Traffic data: This includes information about the number of visitors to a website, their location, and the pages they visit.  
2. Engagement data: This includes data on how visitors interact with a website, such as the time spent on each page, bounce rates, and click-through rates.  
3. Conversion data: This includes data on the number of conversions, such as purchases or sign-ups, that occur on a website.  
4. Search engine optimization (SEO) data: This includes data on a website's search engine rankings, keyword performance, and backlink profile.  
5. Social media data: This includes data on a website's social media presence, such as the number of followers, likes, and shares.  
6. Performance data: This includes data on a website's load times, server response times, and other performance metrics.  
7. User behavior data: This includes data on how users navigate a website, such as the paths they take and the buttons they click.  

Overall, Primetric's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to optimize website performance and improve user engagement.

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 Primetric to DynamoDB 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 Primetric to DynamoDB 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.
