Agora — async-first ETL framework for Python.

Agora ETL Framework

Async-first ETL framework for Python.

---

Overview

agora-etl is a Python async ETL framework built around a Source → Middleware chain → Sink(s) model.

• Source emits records one at a time via an async generator
• Middleware chain transforms, filters, validates, or enriches each record
• Sink persists records to a destination

The pipeline builder is immutable — every .pipe() and .filter() returns a new instance. Calling .build() produces a runnable BoundPipeline. The framework handles checkpointing, dead-letter queues, retries, backpressure, and long-running scheduled workers so you can focus on the transformation logic.

Install

pip install agora-etl                  # core only
pip install "agora-etl[file]"          # + Parquet support and faster JSONL

Quick start

Minimal pipeline — filter and print:

import asyncio
from dataclasses import dataclass
from agora import Pipeline, IterableSource
from agora.sinks.io.stdout import StdoutSink

@dataclass
class Event:
    id: int
    name: str
    score: float

async def main():
    summary = await (
        Pipeline(IterableSource([
            Event(id=1, name="alice", score=0.9),
            Event(id=2, name="bob",   score=0.4),
            Event(id=3, name="carol", score=0.85),
        ]))
        .filter(lambda r: r.score > 0.8)
        .build(StdoutSink())
        .run()
    )
    print(f"written={summary.records_written}  dropped={summary.records_dropped}")

asyncio.run(main())

With DLQ — failed records are captured, pipeline continues:

import asyncio
from agora import Pipeline, IterableSource
from agora.core.middleware import Middleware
from agora.core.dlq import SQLiteDLQSink
from agora.sinks.io.stdout import StdoutSink

class EnrichMiddleware(Middleware[dict, dict]):
    name = "enrich"

    async def process(self, record: dict, ctx) -> dict | None:
        if record.get("value") is None:
            raise ValueError(f"missing value on record {record['id']}")
        return {**record, "value": record["value"].upper()}

async def main():
    summary = await (
        Pipeline(IterableSource([
            {"id": 1, "value": "hello"},
            {"id": 2, "value": None},    # will fail → goes to DLQ
            {"id": 3, "value": "world"},
        ]))
        .pipe(EnrichMiddleware())
        .build(
            StdoutSink(),
            dlq=SQLiteDLQSink(".dlq.db"),
        )
        .run()
    )
    print(f"written={summary.records_written}  errored={summary.records_errored}")
    print(f"run_id={summary.run_id}")
    # written=2  errored=1
    # run_id=<uuid> — use this to query .dlq.db: SELECT * FROM dlq_records WHERE run_id='...'

asyncio.run(main())

The middleware_error log lines are expected — they confirm record id=2 was caught and routed to the DLQ. The pipeline completed normally.

Or scaffold a project:

agora new my-pipeline
cd my-pipeline
agora run pipelines.example
