Loading Data from Fivetran
to EDB BigAnimal
Using dlt
in Python
We will be using the dlt PostgreSQL destination to connect to EDB BigAnimal. You can get the connection string for your EDB BigAnimal database as described in the EDB BigAnimal Docs.
Join our Slack community or book a call with our support engineer Violetta.
fivetran
is an ETL tool that helps customers use their data for AI applications, ML models, predictive analytics, and operational workloads. EDB BigAnimal
is a fully managed database-as-a-service that runs in your cloud account or BigAnimal
's cloud account, managed by the builders of Postgres. It simplifies setting up, managing, and scaling databases, supporting PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres Advanced Server
with Oracle compatibility. You can also choose distributed high-availability cluster types for geographically distributed databases. This documentation will guide you on how to load data from fivetran
to EDB BigAnimal
using the open-source Python library dlt
. For more information on fivetran
, visit their website.

Key Features
- Automated maintenance: With schema inference and evolution,
dlt
simplifies maintenance by automatically adapting to changes in the data structure. Learn more - Scalability:
dlt
offers scalable data extraction through iterators, chunking, and parallelization techniques, making it efficient for processing large datasets. Read about scalability - Governance support:
dlt
pipelines provide robust governance with features like pipeline metadata, schema enforcement, and schema change alerts. Explore governance support - Integration with dbt: Seamlessly integrate dbt into your
dlt
pipeline for powerful data transformations. Discover dbt integration - Transformation options: Use the
dlt
SQL client, Pandas, or dbt to transform data before or after loading, ensuring data quality and consistency. See transformation options
Getting started with your pipeline locally
dlt-init-openapi
0. Prerequisites
dlt
and dlt-init-openapi
requires Python 3.9 or higher. Additionally, you need to have the pip
package manager installed, and we recommend using a virtual environment to manage your dependencies. You can learn more about preparing your computer for dlt in our installation reference.
1. Install dlt and dlt-init-openapi
First you need to install the dlt-init-openapi
cli tool.
pip install dlt-init-openapi
The dlt-init-openapi
cli is a powerful generator which you can use to turn any OpenAPI spec into a dlt
source to ingest data from that api. The quality of the generator source is dependent on how well the API is designed and how accurate the OpenAPI spec you are using is. You may need to make tweaks to the generated code, you can learn more about this here.
# generate pipeline
# NOTE: add_limit adds a global limit, you can remove this later
# NOTE: you will need to select which endpoints to render, you
# can just hit Enter and all will be rendered.
dlt-init-openapi fivetran --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlt-hub/openapi-specs/main/open_api_specs/Business/fivetran.yaml --global-limit 2
cd fivetran_pipeline
# install generated requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
The last command will install the required dependencies for your pipeline. The dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt
:
dlt>=0.4.12
You now have the following folder structure in your project:
fivetran_pipeline/
├── .dlt/
│ ├── config.toml # configs for your pipeline
│ └── secrets.toml # secrets for your pipeline
├── rest_api/ # The rest api verified source
│ └── ...
├── fivetran/
│ └── __init__.py # TODO: possibly tweak this file
├── fivetran_pipeline.py # your main pipeline script
├── requirements.txt # dependencies for your pipeline
└── .gitignore # ignore files for git (not required)
1.1. Tweak fivetran/__init__.py
This file contains the generated configuration of your rest_api. You can continue with the next steps and leave it as is, but you might want to come back here and make adjustments if you need your rest_api
source set up in a different way. The generated file for the fivetran source will look like this:

2. Configuring your source and destination credentials
dlt-init-openapi
will try to detect which authentication mechanism (if any) is used by the API in question and add a placeholder in your secrets.toml
.
The dlt
cli will have created a .dlt
directory in your project folder. This directory contains a config.toml
file and a secrets.toml
file that you can use to configure your pipeline. The automatically created version of these files look like this:
generated config.toml
[runtime]
log_level="INFO"
[sources.fivetran]
# Base URL for the API
base_url = "https://api.fivetran.com"
generated secrets.toml
[sources.fivetran]
# secrets for your fivetran source
username = "FILL ME OUT" # TODO: fill in your credentials
password = "FILL ME OUT" # TODO: fill in your credentials
2.1. Adjust the generated code to your usecase
At this time, the dlt-init-openapi
cli tool will always create pipelines that load to a local duckdb
instance. Switching to a different destination is trivial, all you need to do is change the destination
parameter in fivetran_pipeline.py
to postgres and supply the credentials as outlined in the destination doc linked below.
3. Running your pipeline for the first time
The dlt
cli has also created a main pipeline script for you at fivetran_pipeline.py
, as well as a folder fivetran
that contains additional python files for your source. These files are your local copies which you can modify to fit your needs. In some cases you may find that you only need to do small changes to your pipelines or add some configurations, in other cases these files can serve as a working starting point for your code, but will need to be adjusted to do what you need them to do.
The main pipeline script will look something like this:
import dlt
from fivetran import fivetran_source
if __name__ == "__main__":
pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
pipeline_name="fivetran_pipeline",
destination='duckdb',
dataset_name="fivetran_data",
progress="log",
export_schema_path="schemas/export"
)
source = fivetran_source()
info = pipeline.run(source)
print(info)
Provided you have set up your credentials, you can run your pipeline like a regular python script with the following command:
python fivetran_pipeline.py
4. Inspecting your load result
You can now inspect the state of your pipeline with the dlt
cli:
dlt pipeline fivetran_pipeline info
You can also use streamlit to inspect the contents of your EDB BigAnimal
destination for this:
# install streamlit
pip install streamlit
# run the streamlit app for your pipeline with the dlt cli:
dlt pipeline fivetran_pipeline show
5. Next steps to get your pipeline running in production
One of the beauties of dlt
is, that we are just a plain Python library, so you can run your pipeline in any environment that supports Python >= 3.8. We have a couple of helpers and guides in our docs to get you there:
The Deploy section will show you how to deploy your pipeline to
- Deploy with GitHub Actions: Learn how to use GitHub Actions for CI/CD to deploy your
dlt
pipeline effortlessly. Follow the guide here. - Deploy with Airflow and Google Composer: Utilize Airflow and Google Composer to manage and deploy your
dlt
pipeline. Detailed instructions can be found here. - Deploy with Google Cloud Functions: Discover how to deploy your
dlt
pipeline using Google Cloud Functions for a serverless experience. Check the guide here. - Other Deployment Options: Explore various other methods to deploy your
dlt
pipeline by visiting this page.
The running in production section will teach you about:
- How to Monitor your pipeline: Learn how to effectively monitor your
dlt
pipeline in production to ensure it runs smoothly and efficiently. How to Monitor your pipeline - Set up alerts: Implement alerting mechanisms to get notified about important events and potential issues in your
dlt
pipeline. Set up alerts - Set up tracing: Enable tracing to gain insights into the execution flow and performance of your
dlt
pipeline. And set up tracing
