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 accessing the RKI COVID dataset. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) publishes COVID-19 data in a machine-readable format, typically as CSV or JSON files. You can access this data directly from their official website or through their public API. Use Python's `requests` library or a similar tool to download the data files to your local system.
Ensure you have a suitable environment for processing data. Install necessary Python libraries such as `pandas` for data manipulation and `boto3` for interacting with AWS services. You can set up a virtual environment using `venv` or `conda` to manage dependencies effectively.
If necessary, transform the downloaded data to match your specific requirements or schema. Use `pandas` to load the dataset into a DataFrame, perform any cleaning or transformations, and then export it back to a CSV or JSON format. This step is optional depending on whether the raw dataset meets your needs.
Configure your AWS credentials to allow Python scripts to interact with AWS services. Use the AWS Management Console to create an IAM user with the necessary permissions (e.g., S3 access). Store the credentials in the `~/.aws/credentials` file or set them as environment variables (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`).
Use `boto3`, the AWS SDK for Python, to upload your data file to an S3 bucket. Initialize a `boto3` S3 client and use the `upload_file` method to transfer the file. Ensure that your S3 bucket is correctly configured to allow uploads and that the IAM user has sufficient permissions.
```python
import boto3
s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
s3_client.upload_file('local_file.csv', 'your-s3-bucket-name', 'data/rki_covid_data.csv')
```
In the AWS Management Console, navigate to AWS Glue to create a new crawler. Configure the crawler to scan your S3 bucket and detect the schema of the uploaded RKI COVID data. This will populate the Glue Data Catalog with a table that represents your data's structure. Set the crawler to run on-demand or on a schedule as needed.
Once the data is cataloged, use AWS Glue to run ETL jobs or query the data using AWS Athena. You can write SQL queries in Athena to analyze the data directly from the S3 bucket. AWS Glue provides a serverless environment to process and transform data using Apache Spark, which you can leverage for more complex ETL tasks.
By following these steps, you can effectively transfer and manage RKI COVID data from their source to AWS S3 and leverage AWS Glue for further processing 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.
RKI stands for the Robert Koch Institute is continuously monitoring the situation, evaluating all available information, estimating the risk for the population in Germany. RKI Corvid provides selected information on COVID-19 available in English. In the connector source RKI Corvid we want to add streams for the states that include history data , incidence rate , cases , deaths and so on.
The RKI Covid's API provides access to a wide range of data related to the Covid-19 pandemic in Germany. The data can be categorized into the following categories:
1. Case data: This includes information on the number of confirmed cases, deaths, and recoveries in Germany.
2. Testing data: This includes information on the number of tests conducted, the positivity rate, and the number of tests per capita.
3. Hospitalization data: This includes information on the number of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and ventilator use.
4. Vaccination data: This includes information on the number of people vaccinated, the number of doses administered, and the percentage of the population vaccinated.
5. Geographic data: This includes information on the number of cases and deaths by state, district, and municipality.
6. Demographic data: This includes information on the age, gender, and ethnicity of Covid-19 patients.
7. Time series data: This includes information on the daily and cumulative number of cases, deaths, and vaccinations over time.
Overall, the RKI Covid's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to track the spread of Covid-19 in Germany and inform public health policies and interventions.
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.
