Replicate GCP PostgreSQL to Snowflake in minutes
Do you want a quick and simple way to transfer data from GCP PostgreSQL to Snowflake? If yes, then you can migrate your data with an efficient ETL tool: Daton.
Businesses need to utilize their data to make data-driven decisions and stay ahead of increasing competition. The data from different tools require fast and secured storage. But the cost to build and maintain a scalable and secure physical storage solution is a lot. So, now the companies are using cloud databases like Postgre SQL. Although, extracting, replicating, and managing data from these databases is complex. Hence cloud platforms like Google Cloud Platform (GCP) have made a solution to handle PostgreSQL databases. GCP PostgreSQL provides easy access and control of your PostgreSQL database.
Nowadays, companies are reducing the time & effort of reporting and analyzing their business data from several databases and cloud storage. They use ETL tools like Daton to replicate data from these Cloud platforms to data warehouses like Snowflake, where analysts get a consolidated view for faster and more accurate reporting.
Why integrate GCP PostgreSQL to Snowflake?
Data savvy enterprises use cloud storage solutions like Google Cloud Platform to manage their databases. These storage solutions help collaboration and data consolidation, especially when multiple teams work in several offices across the globe. You will get automatic database replication, backing by secure servers, and reduced data loss and theft. Combine data from GCP PostgreSQL with other databases like COGS, Amazon Aurora, and sales sheets to simplify data analysis and reporting. However, manual data integration is complex and time-consuming, often creating inaccurate reports. Thus, companies resort to ETL tools like Daton to transfer data from GCP PostgreSQL to Snowflake. It is a highly automated ETL Tool that easily replicates data from several data sources to cloud data warehouses without coding.
GCP PostgreSQL Overview
GCP PostgreSQL is a fully-managed database service that helps you set up and maintain PostgreSQL databases on the Google Cloud Platform(GCP). It provides standard features like high availability with automatic failover, a rich API, encryption at rest and in transit, automatic backups, and advanced logging and monitoring. GCP PostgreSQL runs on Google’s Second-Generation computing platform. Databases running on the Second-Generation platform are 7x faster and have 20x more storage capacity. GCP PostgreSQL also ensures high availability using low-level storage data synchronization using regional persistent disks.
Snowflake Overview
Snowflake is the most popular data warehouse to offer a cloud-native, petabyte-scale service. The software provides a query engine for all users allowing SQL based querying and a host of business intelligence tools to connect with the service. Snowflake is built on a scalable infrastructure, supports big data and massive workloads. The powerful management console enables connections from any SQL client. Snowflake service also supports REST APIs allowing developers to work in real-time with simple API calls. It is compatible with several BI and visualization tools.
How to replicate GCP PostgreSQL to Snowflake?
There are two ways in which you can replicate GCP PostgreSQL to Snowflake.
Build Your data pipeline – Building an in-house data pipeline needs a lot of experience, time and manpower with higher chances of errors. You need to extract data using GCP PostgreSQL APIs & then connect it properly with the Snowflake data warehouse.
Use Daton to integrate GCP PostgreSQL & Snowflake – Using Daton to integrate GCP PostgreSQL & Snowflake is the fastest & easiest way to save your time and efforts. Leveraging an eCommerce data pipeline like Daton simplifies and accelerates the time to build automated reporting to a great extent.
Configuring data replication on Daton only takes a few minutes and a few clicks. Analysts do not have to write any code or manage any infrastructure, yet they can get access to their Amazon ads data in a few hours. Daton’s simple and easy to use interface allows analysts and developers to use UI elements to configure data replication from GCP PostgreSQL data into Snowflake.
Daton takes care of:
- Authentication
- Rate limits,
- Table creation, deletion & reloads
- Refreshing access tokens,
- Sampling,
- Historical data load,
- Incremental data load,
- Notifications
and many more important functions for data analysts to focus on analysis rather than worry about the data replication process.
Steps to Integrate GCP PostgreSQL with Daton
- Sign in to Daton
- Select GCP PostgreSQL from Integrations page
- Provide Integration Name, Replication Frequency, and History. Integration name would be used in creating tables for the integration and cannot be changed later
- You will be redirected to GCP PostgreSQL login for authorizing Daton to extract data periodically
- Post successful authentication, you will be prompted to choose from the list of available GCP PostgreSQL Ad accounts
- Select required tables from the available list of tables
- Then select all required fields for each table
- Submit the integration
