blueno 0.1.8

A Python ETL library for creating declarative data pipelines.

A platform agnostic Python library for writing declarative data pipelines the bueno way

blueno

A collection of Python ETL utilities for working with data pipelines with built in orchestration.

Mainly focused on Data Engineering tasks utilising Polars and delta-rs.

It features blueprints as the central orchestration unit, and is inspired by the likes of dbt models, SQLMesh models and Dagster's software defined assets.

While it also has features for running on Microsoft Fabric, its utilities are decoupled in a way to let you choose your own storage and compute.

Installation

Regular installation:

pip install blueno

For Microsoft Fabric or Azure:

pip install "blueno[azure]"

Features

Local development first

Aim to provide a local development environment. This means you can develop, run code and store data locally as part of your development cycle. You can also read and write to Azure Data Lake or Microsoft Fabric lakehouses.

Remote code execution

While local development is favored, sometimes we need run our data pipelines a real setting. The library lets you run code directly in Microsoft Fabric.

ETL helper functions

• Read from delta tables or parquet files with automatic authentication to Azure Data Lake or OneLake
• Common transformations (add audit columns, reorder columns, deduplicate etc.)
• Load delta tables with one of the provided load methods (upsert, overwrite, append etc.)

Blueprints

Blueprints is a feature to declaratively specify your entities in your data pipelines.

Configuration such as storage location, write behaviour and other configuration is set in the decorator, while the function itself only is concerned about business logic.

from blueno import blueprint, Blueprint
import polars as pl

workspace_name = ...
lakehouse_name = ...

lakehouse_base_uri = f"abfss://{workspace_name}@onelake.dfs.fabric.microsoft.com/{lakehouse_name}.Lakehouse/Tables"

@blueprint(
    table_uri=f"{lakehouse_base_uri}/silver/customer",
    primary_keys=["customer_id"],
    write_mode="overwrite",
)
def silver_customer(self: Blueprint, bronze_customer: pl.DataFrame) -> pl.DataFrame:
    
    # Deduplicate customers
    df = bronze_customers.unique(subset=self.primary_keys)

    return df

Given you also specified a blueprint for bronze_customer specified as a dependency for silver_customer, the blueprints will automatically be wired and executed in the correct order.

See the documentation for an elaborate example.
