Introduction

This project implements an abstraction of objects that can have access to a variety of data stores, implementing read/write with a simple and expressive interface. This abstraction works with NoSQL, SQL and Cloud data stores and leverages pandas.

Why Use Data-Transport ?

Data transport is a simple framework that enables read/write to multiple databases or technologies that can hold data. In using data-transport, you are able to:

• Enjoy the simplicity of data-transport because it leverages SQLAlchemy & Pandas data-frames.
• Share notebooks and code without having to disclosing database credentials.
• Seamlessly and consistently access to multiple database technologies at no cost
• No need to worry about accidental writes to a database leading to inconsistent data
• Implement consistent pre and post processing as a pipeline i.e aggregation of functions
• data-transport is open-source under MIT License https://github.com/lnyemba/data-transport

Installation

Within the virtual environment perform the following, the options for installation are:

sql - by default postgresql, mysql, sqlserver, sqlite3+, duckdb

pip install data-transport[cloud,nosql,other,all]git+https://github.com/lnyemba/data-transport.git

Options to install components in square brackets, these components are

warehouse - Apache Iceberg, Apache Drill

cloud  - to support nextcloud, s3

nosql - support for mongodb, couchdb

other  - support for files, rabbitmq, http

pip install data-transport[nosql,cloud,warehouse,all]@git+https://github.com/lnyemba/data-transport.git

Additional features

- In addition to read/write, there is support for functions for pre/post processing
- CLI interface to add to registry, run ETL
- scales and integrates into shared environments like apache zeppelin; jupyterhub; SageMaker; ...
