Amazon DynamoDB

Introduction

DynamoDB is a fully-managed NoSQL database service by Amazon which supports schema-less data modeling. Using Meltano, an open source ELT DataOps framework, and target-miso, an open source Singer component, Miso can help you automate the process of sending your data from DynamoDB to Miso's Search and Recommendation engines.

Integration Steps

Build your Meltano project

1. Follow Meltano’s guide to install the framework (Note: You can either install Python and the Meltano package to your local machine or use their official docker image for the environment).
2. Setup your project skeleton using our examples.
3. Configure the DynamoDB extractor following the instructions here.
4. Follow this guide to configure the loader (target-miso) to pipe your data to Miso’s engine.
5. Optional: You can configure an orchestrator, like Airflow, to automate and schedule the data flow.

Tips and Tricks

• In Meltano’s CLI, you can use --dry-run flag to test the configuration.
• Use the discover capability of your tap to confirm stream IDs.
• Use meltano invoke tap-* --test to emit a single record for testing purposes.
• Use meltano invoke target-* --input to test a loader.
