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 creating an IAM role with the necessary permissions to access DynamoDB and Amazon S3. This role will allow your AWS services to interact securely. Make sure to attach the `AmazonDynamoDBReadOnlyAccess` and `AmazonS3FullAccess` policies to this role.
In the AWS Management Console, navigate to Amazon S3 and create a new bucket. This bucket will serve as the storage location for your data lake. Ensure that versioning is enabled to maintain data integrity and enable logging for monitoring purposes.
Launch AWS Glue from the AWS Management Console to create a Glue Data Catalog. This catalog will store metadata about the data you are transferring. Define a new database and crawler in AWS Glue to point to your DynamoDB table. Run the crawler to populate the catalog with metadata information about your table structure.
With the Glue Data Catalog set up, create an AWS Glue ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) job. This job will extract data from DynamoDB, transform it if necessary, and load it into your S3 bucket. Define the job’s source as the DynamoDB table and the target as the S3 bucket. Use PySpark or a similar script within the Glue job to manage the data transformation and loading process.
Set up triggers to run your Glue job on a schedule or in response to specific events. This can be done by configuring event-based triggers in AWS Glue or using Amazon CloudWatch Events to schedule job runs. This ensures your data lake stays up-to-date with the latest changes from DynamoDB.
Use AWS CloudWatch to monitor the performance of your Glue ETL jobs and the data transfer process. Check for any errors or performance bottlenecks. Optimize your ETL scripts and Glue job configurations to improve efficiency, such as adjusting the number of data processing units (DPUs) or optimizing your script logic.
Finally, ensure that your data stored in the S3 bucket is secure by configuring bucket policies and enabling encryption at rest using AWS KMS. Validate the data integrity by comparing records between the source DynamoDB table and the target S3 bucket, ensuring that all records have been accurately transferred.
By following these steps, you will successfully transfer data from a DynamoDB table to an AWS Data Lake using AWS-native services, without the need for 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.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that supports key–value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. DynamoDB exposes a similar data model to and derives its name from Dynamo, but has a different underlying implementation.
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.
