How Airbyte Works

About the source and destination

SpaceX API

SpaceX manufactures, designs and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. SpaceX has successfully launched 11 Falcon 9 carrier rockets this year, remaining two more launches already planned. SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs. SpaceX API provides real-time SpaceX satellite tracking data. SpaceX provides two-way satellite-based internet service (“Services”), receivable with a Starlink dish, Wi-Fi router, power supply and mounts ("Starlink Kit” or “Kit”).

Redis

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store that can be used as a database, cache, and message broker. It supports a wide range of data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets. Redis is known for its high performance, scalability, and flexibility. It can handle millions of requests per second and can be used in a variety of applications such as real-time analytics, messaging, and session management. Redis also provides advanced features such as pub/sub messaging, Lua scripting, and transactions. It is widely used by companies such as Twitter, GitHub, and StackOverflow.

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:

  1. set up SpaceX API as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up Redis as a destination connector
  3. 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

  1. A SpaceX API account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A Redis account.
  3. 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 SpaceX API and Redis, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up SpaceX API as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Create a new source" button and select "SpaceX API" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter a name for your connector and click "Next".
4. Enter your SpaceX API credentials, including your API key and any other required information.
5. Test your connection to ensure that your credentials are correct and that Airbyte can successfully connect to the SpaceX API.
6. Once your connection is successful, select the data you want to replicate from the SpaceX API and configure any additional settings or filters as needed.
7. Click "Create Source" to save your configuration and begin replicating data from the SpaceX API to your destination.

Step 2: Set up Redis 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 Redis destination connector and click on it.
4. You will be prompted to enter your Redis connection details, including the host, port, password, and database number.
5. Once you have entered your connection details, click on the "Test" button to ensure that your connection is working properly.
6. If the test is successful, click on the "Save" button to save your Redis destination connector settings.
7. You can now use the Redis destination connector to send data from Airbyte to your Redis database.
8. To set up a data integration pipeline, navigate to the "Sources" tab and select the source connector that you want to use.
9. Follow the prompts to enter your source connector settings and configure your data integration pipeline.
10. Once your pipeline is set up, you can run it to start sending data from your source to your Redis database using the Redis destination connector.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your SpaceX API data to Redis

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

  1. Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
  2. Choose your source: Select SpaceX API from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose Redis from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
  4. 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.
  5. Select the data to sync: Choose the specific SpaceX API objects you want to import data from towards Redis. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
  6. 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.
  7. Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
  8. Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from SpaceX API to Redis according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Redis data warehouse is always up-to-date with your SpaceX API data.

Use Cases to transfer your SpaceX API data to Redis

Integrating data from SpaceX API to Redis provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

  1. Advanced Analytics: Redis’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your SpaceX API data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within SpaceX API alone.
  2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with SpaceX API, syncing to Redis 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.
  3. Historical Data Analysis: SpaceX API has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Redis allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
  4. Data Security and Compliance: Redis provides robust data security features. Syncing SpaceX API data to Redis ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
  5. Scalability: Redis can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding SpaceX API data.
  6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having SpaceX API data in Redis, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
  7. Reporting and Visualization: While SpaceX API provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Redis, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a SpaceX API table that needs to be converted to a Redis table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

  1. Configure a SpaceX API account as an Airbyte data source connector.
  2. Configure Redis as a data destination connector.
  3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from SpaceX API to Redis after you set a schedule

With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
