Loading Data from GitLab to EDB BigAnimal with dlt in Python

tip

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.

Need help deploying these pipelines, or figuring out how to run them in your data stack?

Join our Slack community or book a call with our support engineer Violetta.

This page provides technical documentation on loading data from GitLab to EDB BigAnimal using the open-source Python library called dlt. GitLab is a web-based DevOps lifecycle tool offering a Git repository manager, wiki, issue-tracking, and CI/CD pipeline features under an open-source license. EDB BigAnimal is a fully managed database-as-a-service that operates in your cloud account or BigAnimal's cloud account. It is managed by one of the builders of Postgres and simplifies the setup, management, and scaling of your databases. You can choose between PostgreSQL, EDB Postgres Advanced Server with Oracle compatibility, or distributed high-availability cluster types for geographically distributed databases. For more details about GitLab, visit their official site.

Getting started with your pipeline locally​

OpenAPI Source Generator dlt-init-openapi

This walkthrough makes use of the dlt-init-openapi generator cli tool. You can read more about it here. The code generated by this tool uses the dlt rest_api verified source, docs for this are here.

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 gitlab --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlt-hub/openapi-specs/main/open_api_specs/Public/gitlab.yaml --global-limit 2
cd gitlab_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:

gitlab_pipeline/
├── .dlt/
│   ├── config.toml          # configs for your pipeline
│   └── secrets.toml         # secrets for your pipeline
├── rest_api/                # The rest api verified source
│   └── ...
├── gitlab/                
│   └── __init__.py          # TODO: possibly tweak this file
├── gitlab_pipeline.py        # your main pipeline script
├── requirements.txt         # dependencies for your pipeline
└── .gitignore               # ignore files for git (not required)

1.1. Tweak gitlab/__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 gitlab source will look like this:

2. Configuring your source and destination credentials​

info

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.

  • If you know your API needs authentication, but none was detected, you can learn more about adding authentication to the rest_api here.
  • OAuth detection currently is not supported, but you can supply your own authentication mechanism as outlined here.

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.gitlab]
# Base URL for the API
base_url = "https://www.gitlab.com/api/v4"

generated secrets.toml​


[sources.gitlab]
# secrets for your gitlab source
api_key = "FILL ME OUT"  # TODO: fill in your credentials

2.1. Adjust the generated code to your usecase​

Further help setting up your source and destinations

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 gitlab_pipeline.py to postgres and supply the credentials as outlined in the destination doc linked below.

  • Read more about setting up the rest_api source in our docs.
  • Read more about setting up the EDB BigAnimal destination in our docs.

3. Running your pipeline for the first time​

The dlt cli has also created a main pipeline script for you at gitlab_pipeline.py, as well as a folder gitlab 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 gitlab import gitlab_source


if __name__ == "__main__":
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="gitlab_pipeline",
        destination='duckdb',
        dataset_name="gitlab_data",
        progress="log",
        export_schema_path="schemas/export"
    )
    source = gitlab_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 gitlab_pipeline.py

4. Inspecting your load result​

You can now inspect the state of your pipeline with the dlt cli:

dlt pipeline gitlab_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 gitlab_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 deploy your dlt pipeline using GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation. Follow the guide here.
  • Deploy with Airflow and Google Composer: Discover how to deploy your dlt pipeline using Airflow and Google Composer for managed workflow orchestration. Detailed instructions are available here.
  • Deploy with Google Cloud Functions: Utilize Google Cloud Functions to deploy your dlt pipeline in a serverless environment. Step-by-step guide can be found here.
  • Explore other deployment options: dlt offers various deployment strategies to fit your needs. Check out more options and detailed guides here.

The running in production section will teach you about:​

  • How to Monitor your pipeline: Learn how to effectively monitor your dlt pipeline to ensure smooth operation and quick identification of issues. How to Monitor your pipeline
  • Set up alerts: Configure alerts to get notified about important events and errors in your dlt pipeline, ensuring you can take timely action. Set up alerts
  • And set up tracing: Implement tracing to gain insights into the execution of your dlt pipeline, helping you understand performance and identify bottlenecks. And set up tracing
