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 exporting the data from Amazon Redshift to Amazon S3. Use the `UNLOAD` command to write the data to S3 in a suitable format, such as CSV or Parquet. Ensure you have the necessary permissions set up for Redshift to write to the S3 bucket.
```sql
UNLOAD ('SELECT FROM your_table')
TO 's3://your-bucket/path/'
CREDENTIALS 'aws_access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY;aws_secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
FORMAT AS PARQUET;
```
Configure Starburst Galaxy to access the data stored in the S3 bucket. This involves setting up an S3-compatible Hive metastore in Starburst Galaxy, which allows it to read the exported data directly from S3.
Define an external table in Starburst Galaxy that points to the data in the S3 bucket. Use SQL commands in Starburst Galaxy to create an external table with the same schema as your Redshift table, referencing the S3 location.
```sql
CREATE TABLE external_schema.your_table (
column1 datatype,
column2 datatype,
...
)
WITH (
external_location = 's3://your-bucket/path/',
format = 'PARQUET'
);
```
Once the external table is created, verify that the data is accessible in Starburst Galaxy by running a simple SELECT query. This ensures that the data was correctly exported and that Starburst Galaxy can read from the S3 bucket.
```sql
SELECT FROM external_schema.your_table LIMIT 10;
```
If any transformations are required before the data is fully usable in Starburst Galaxy, execute SQL transformation scripts. This might involve data type conversions or restructuring the dataset to fit your analytical needs.
If you prefer to have the data stored internally within Starburst Galaxy, execute an `INSERT INTO` command to move data from the external table to an internal table. This is optional and depends on your use case.
```sql
CREATE TABLE internal_schema.your_table AS
SELECT FROM external_schema.your_table;
```
Automate the process if regular data transfers are required. Use scheduled SQL scripts or AWS Lambda functions to repeat the export and load processes at desired intervals, ensuring data in Starburst Galaxy stays up-to-date with Redshift.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Amazon Redshift to Starburst Galaxy without relying on third-party connectors 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.
A fully managed data warehouse service in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, Amazon Redshift is designed for storage and analysis of large-scale datasets. Redshift allows businesses to scale from a few hundred gigabytes to more than a petabyte (a million gigabytes), and utilizes ML techniques to analyze queries, offering businesses new insights from their data. Users can query and combine exabytes of data using standard SQL, and easily save their query results to their S3 data lake.
Amazon Redshift provides access to a wide range of data related to the Redshift cluster, including:
1. Cluster metadata: Information about the cluster, such as its configuration, status, and performance metrics.
2. Query execution data: Details about queries executed on the cluster, including query text, execution time, and resource usage.
3. Cluster events: Notifications about events that occur on the cluster, such as node failures or cluster scaling.
4. Cluster snapshots: Point-in-time backups of the cluster, including metadata and data files.
5. Cluster security: Information about the cluster's security configuration, including user accounts, permissions, and encryption settings.
6. Cluster logs: Detailed logs of cluster activity, including system events, query execution, and error messages.
7. Cluster performance metrics: Metrics related to the cluster's performance, such as CPU usage, disk I/O, and network traffic.
Overall, Redshift's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to monitor and optimize the performance of Redshift clusters, as well as to troubleshoot issues and manage security.
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.
