This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Alyeska is a data engineering toolkit to simplify the nuts & bolts of data engineering tasks.
More concretely, alyeska bridges the gap between common Python modules and common data engineering technologies. i.e. pandas, psycopg2, AWS Redshift, AWS secretsmanager, and more. Alyeska offers simple functions and/or syntactic sugar to common tasks:
Safely executing many SQL statements against a database (sqlagent)
Loading a pandas dataframe into a database (redpandas)
Assuming an AWS IAM user with multi-factor authorization (locksmith.authmfa)
Creating psycopg2 connections to Redshift (locksmith)
Generate shell scripts that respect workflow dependencies (compose.compose_sh)
While Alyeska mimics some functionalities, it is not a replacement for Airflow, AWS Glue, or other purpose-built data engineering technologies. That is, metaphorically, Alyeska is your parents’ toolbox. While terrific for fixing a leaky faucet, but it is no replacement for a plumber.
Sample Usage
Assume an AWS IAM user with multi-factor authorization
Alyeska’s authmfa command line utility is useful for quickly assuming an AWS IAM user with MFA.
$ authmfa MyAwsUser
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=abcdefg1234567!@#$%^&
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=notarealsessiontoken///////5AVHwuGc*hYLp%$vr51*XTEHJjRD2JxavaD8wlJqi!aCZVhvp7nzt!U5elvoPZ@GlG%a9sT^HBrgKzQ8xZrpAADp65RYQzqvawF
$ eval `authmfa MyAwsUser` # export to environment
Learn more about how to config this utility with authmfa -h.
Load a pandas dataframe into AWS Redshift
Large tables can be frustrating to load into Redshift. Alyeska reduces the process to a short one-line statement:
>>> aly.redpandas.insert_pandas_into(cnxn, target_table, payload_df)
In practice, it may function as
>>> import alyeska as aly
>>> import alyeska.locksmith.redshift as rs
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> cnxn = rs.connect_with_environment("my-user")
>>> target_table = "db.natural_numbers"
>>> sql = f"CREATE TABLE {target_table}(n INT NOT NULL)"
>>> aly.sqlagent.execute_sql(cnxn, sql) # create table
>>> natural_numbers_df = pd.DataFrame({"n": range(1, 1_000_001)})
>>> aly.redpandas.insert_pandas_into(cnxn, target_table, natural_numbers_df)
Components
Tools are broken out into modules with niche purposes:
compose is a workflow dependency management tool
locksmith helps authorize AWS sessions and Redshift connections
logging is another thin module that standardizes logging practices
redpandas supports less verbose pandas/redshift functionality
sqlagent supports SQL executation and runtime configuration
