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 Tempo 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.

What is Tempo

What is Redis

Prerequisites

1. A Tempo 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 Tempo and Redis, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Tempo to Redis, it extracts data from Tempo 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 Tempo data for advanced analytics and insights within Redis, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Tempo as a source connector

Step 2: Set up Redis as a destination connector

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

Once you've successfully connected Tempo 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 Tempo 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 Tempo 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 Tempo 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 Tempo data.

Use Cases to transfer your Tempo data to Redis

Integrating data from Tempo 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 Tempo data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Tempo alone.
2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Tempo, 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: Tempo 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 Tempo 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 Tempo data.
6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Tempo data in Redis, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
7. Reporting and Visualization: While Tempo 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 Tempo 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 Tempo 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 Tempo to Redis after you set a schedule
