What our users say
"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
“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.”
"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 your data from DynamoDB to Amazon S3. You can achieve this by using AWS Data Pipeline or AWS Glue to create a job that extracts data from DynamoDB and writes it to an S3 bucket in a format like CSV or JSON.
Configure AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles so that Snowflake can access the S3 bucket. Create an IAM policy that grants read access to the specific bucket and attach it to a new or existing IAM role.
Log into your Snowflake account and create a stage for external data loading. This stage will point to the S3 bucket where the data from DynamoDB is stored. Use the `CREATE STAGE` command in Snowflake, specifying the S3 bucket URL and the IAM role ARN that grants access permissions.
Define a file format in Snowflake that matches the data format of the files in S3 (e.g., CSV, JSON). Use the `CREATE FILE FORMAT` command and specify details such as field delimiter, record delimiter, and other relevant options based on the file type.
Use the `COPY INTO` command in Snowflake to load data from the S3 bucket into a Snowflake table. Specify the stage, file format, and target table in the command. This will read the files from S3 and populate the data into your Snowflake database.
After loading the data, perform checks to ensure data integrity and quality. Run queries to count records, check for duplicates, and validate that data types and formats are as expected. This step ensures that the data migration process was successful.
If you need to regularly move data from DynamoDB to Snowflake, consider automating the process using AWS Lambda or AWS Step Functions. Set up a scheduled job that triggers the export and loading process at defined intervals to keep your Snowflake data up-to-date.
By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer data from DynamoDB to Snowflake using AWS's native tools and Snowflake's data loading capabilities.
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.
