QuickETL

Fast & Flexible Python ETL Framework with 20+ backend support via Ibis

QuickETL is a configuration-driven ETL framework that provides a simple, unified API for data processing across multiple compute backends including DuckDB, Polars, Spark, and pandas.

Features

• Multi-backend Support: Run the same pipeline on DuckDB, Polars, DataFusion, Spark, pandas, and more via Ibis
• Configuration-driven: Define pipelines in YAML with variable substitution
• Quality Checks: Built-in data quality validation (not_null, unique, row_count, accepted_values, expression)
• 12 Transform Operations: select, rename, filter, derive_column, cast, fill_null, dedup, sort, join, aggregate, union, limit
• CLI Interface: quicketl run, quicketl validate, quicketl init, quicketl info
• Airflow Integration: @quicketl_task decorator for DAG tasks
• Cloud Storage: S3, GCS, Azure via fsspec

Installation

# Basic installation (DuckDB + Polars)
pip install quicketl

# With additional backends
pip install quicketl[spark]
pip install quicketl[datafusion]

# With cloud storage
pip install quicketl[aws]
pip install quicketl[gcp]
pip install quicketl[azure]

# All backends and tools
pip install quicketl[all]

Quick Start

CLI Usage

# Initialize in existing project
quicketl init

# Or create a new project
quicketl init my_project
cd my_project

# Run a pipeline
quicketl run pipelines/sample.yml

# Validate configuration
quicketl validate pipelines/sample.yml

# Show available backends
quicketl info --backends

Pipeline Configuration (YAML)

name: sales_etl
description: Process daily sales data
engine: duckdb

source:
  type: file
  path: data/sales.parquet
  format: parquet

transforms:
  - op: filter
    predicate: amount > 0
  - op: derive_column
    name: total_with_tax
    expr: amount * 1.1
  - op: aggregate
    group_by: [region]
    aggs:
      total_sales: sum(amount)
      order_count: count(*)

checks:
  - type: not_null
    columns: [region, total_sales]
  - type: row_count
    min: 1

sink:
  type: file
  path: data/output.parquet
  format: parquet

Python API

from quicketl import Pipeline, QuickETLEngine
from quicketl.config.models import FileSource, FileSink
from quicketl.config.transforms import FilterTransform, DeriveColumnTransform

# From YAML
pipeline = Pipeline.from_yaml("pipeline.yml")
result = pipeline.run()

# Builder pattern
pipeline = (
    Pipeline("my_pipeline", engine="duckdb")
    .source(FileSource(path="data.parquet"))
    .transform(FilterTransform(predicate="amount > 0"))
    .transform(DeriveColumnTransform(name="tax", expr="amount * 0.1"))
    .sink(FileSink(path="output.parquet"))
)
result = pipeline.run()

# Direct engine usage
engine = QuickETLEngine(backend="duckdb")
table = engine.read_file("data.parquet", "parquet")
filtered = engine.filter(table, "amount > 100")
result = engine.to_polars(filtered)

Airflow Integration

from quicketl.integrations.airflow import quicketl_task

@quicketl_task(config_path="pipelines/daily_etl.yml")
def run_daily_etl(**context):
    return {"RUN_DATE": context["ds"]}
