TL;DR

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:

set up S3 as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
set up Teradata Vantage as a destination connector
define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

A S3 account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Teradata Vantage account.
An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including S3 and Teradata Vantage, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from S3 to Teradata Vantage, it extracts data from S3 using the source connector, converts it into a format Teradata Vantage can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into Teradata Vantage via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their S3 data for advanced analytics and insights within Teradata Vantage, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up S3 as a source connector

1. Open the Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" from the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the "Create Source" button and select "S3" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter a name for your S3 source and click on "Next".
4. Enter your AWS access key ID and secret access key in the respective fields. You can find these credentials in your AWS account under "Security Credentials".
5. Select the AWS region where your S3 bucket is located from the dropdown menu.
6. Enter the name of your S3 bucket in the "Bucket Name" field.
7. If your S3 bucket is not in the root directory, enter the path to the directory in the "Path Prefix" field.
8. If you want to include only certain files in your data sync, you can enter a file pattern in the "File Pattern" field. For example, "*.csv" will only include CSV files.
9. Click on "Test" to verify your credentials and connection to the S3 bucket.
10. If the test is successful, click on "Create Source" to save your S3 source connector.Once your S3 source connector is set up, you can use it to create a new Airbyte pipeline and sync data from your S3 bucket to your destination of choice.

Step 2: Set up Teradata Vantage as a destination connector

1. First, navigate to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the Teradata Vantage destination connector and click on it.
4. You will be prompted to enter your Teradata Vantage credentials, including your username and password.
5. Once you have entered your credentials, click on the "Test" button to ensure that the connection is working properly.
6. If the test is successful, click on the "Save" button to save your Teradata Vantage destination connector settings.
7. You can now use the Teradata Vantage destination connector to transfer data from your Airbyte sources to your Teradata Vantage database.
8. To set up a data transfer, navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source you want to transfer data from.
9. Follow the prompts to set up the data transfer, including selecting the Teradata Vantage destination connector as your destination and specifying any necessary mapping or transformation rules.
10. Once you have set up the data transfer, click on the "Run" button to initiate the transfer.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your S3 data to Teradata Vantage

Once you've successfully connected S3 as a data source and Teradata Vantage as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
Choose your source: Select S3 from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Teradata Vantage from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
Configure your sync: Define the frequency of your data syncs based on your business needs. Airbyte allows both manual and automatic scheduling for your data refreshes.
Select the data to sync: Choose the specific S3 objects you want to import data from towards Teradata Vantage. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from S3 to Teradata Vantage according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Teradata Vantage data warehouse is always up-to-date with your S3 data.

Use Cases to transfer your S3 data to Teradata Vantage

Integrating data from S3 to Teradata Vantage provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

Advanced Analytics: Teradata Vantage’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your S3 data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within S3 alone.
Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with S3, syncing to Teradata Vantage allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
Historical Data Analysis: S3 has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Teradata Vantage allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
Data Security and Compliance: Teradata Vantage provides robust data security features. Syncing S3 data to Teradata Vantage ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
Scalability: Teradata Vantage can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding S3 data.
