BeETL is a Python package for extracting data from one source, transforming it and loading it into another

BeETL: Extensible Python/Polars-based ETL Framework

BeETL was born from a job as Integration Developer where a majority of the integrations we develop follow the same pattern - get here, transform a little, put there (with the middle step frequently missing altogether).

After building our 16th integration between the same two systems with another manual template, we decided to build BeETL. BeETL is currently limited to one datasource per source and destination per sync, but this will be expanded in the future. One configuration can contain multiple syncs.

Note: Even though most of the configuration below is in YAML format, you can also use JSON or a python dictionary.

Quick Start

The following is the minimum amount of configuration needed to get started with a simple sync

from src.beetl.beetl import Beetl, BeetlConfig

sync_config = {
    # The version of the config file, currently V1
    "version": "V1",
    
    # The datasources to move data between
    "sources": [
        {
            # The identifier for the datasource
            "name": "mysql_db",

            # The type (ex. Sqlserver, Rest, Itop)
            "type": "Mysql",

            # The connection settings for the datasource (connection string or host/user/password)
            "connection": {
              "settings": {
                "connection_string": "mysql://user:password@host:3306/database"
              }
            }
        },

              }

                        # Whether the column is considered unique

Secrets from Environment Variables

In case you want to save your secrets in environment variables instead of in the yaml configuration file, you can save them as a json object to an environment variable and replace the "sources"-section with sourcesFromEnv setting.

Note that the "sources" and "sourcesFromEnv" options are mutually exclusive.

sync_config = {
    # The version of the config file, currently V1
    "version": "V1",

    # Fetch source configuration from environment variable BEETL_SOURCES
    "sourcesFromEnv": "BEETL_SOURCES",

    # The datasources to move data between
    "sync": [
        .....

version: "V1"
sourcesFromEnv: "BEETL_SOURCES"
sync:
  - ......

{
    "version": "V1",
    "sourcesFromEnv": "BEETL_SOURCES",
    "sync": [
        ......

The format of the sources configuration is the same as the one normally under the "sources"-section:

[
    {
        # The identifier for the datasource
        "name": "mysql_db",

        # The type (ex. Sqlserver, Rest, Itop)
        "type": "Mysql",

        # The connection settings for the datasource (connection string or host/user/password)
        "connection": {
            "settings": {
            "connection_string": "mysql://user:password@host:3306/database"
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "name": "postgres_db",
        "type": "Postgres",
        "connection": {
            "settings": {
            "connection_string": "postgresql://user:password@host:5432/database"
            }
        }
    }
