Connect to Redis Data in Airbyte ELT Pipelines

Airbyte empowers users to load your data into any data warehouse, data lake, or database. When combined with CData Connect Cloud, Airbyte users can create Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) pipelines directly from live Redis data. This article illustrates the process of connecting to Redis through Connect Cloud and constructing ELT pipelines for Redis data within Airbyte.

CData Connect Cloud offers a dedicated SQL Server interface for Redis, facilitating data querying without the need for data replication to a native database. With built-in optimized data processing capabilities, CData Connect Cloud efficiently directs all supported SQL operations, including filters and JOINs, straight to Redis. This harnesses server-side processing to swiftly retrieve the desired Redis data.

Configure Redis Connectivity for Airbyte

Connectivity to Redis from Airbyte is made possible through CData Connect Cloud. To work with Redis data from Airbyte, we start by creating and configuring a Redis connection.

1. Log into Connect Cloud, click Connections and click Add Connection
2. Select "Redis" from the Add Connection panel
3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Redis.

   Set the following connection properties to connect to a Redis instance:

   • Server: Set this to the name or address of the server your Redis instance is running on. You can specify the port in Port.
   • Password: Set this to the password used to authenticate with a password-protected Redis instance , using the Redis AUTH command.

   Set UseSSL to negotiate SSL/TLS encryption when you connect.

4. Click Create & Test
5. Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add Redis Connection page and update the User-based permissions.

Add a Personal Access Token

If you are connecting from a service, application, platform, or framework that does not support OAuth authentication, you can create a Personal Access Token (PAT) to use for authentication. Best practices would dictate that you create a separate PAT for each service, to maintain granularity of access.

1. Click on your username at the top right of the Connect Cloud app and click User Profile.
2. On the User Profile page, scroll down to the Personal Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
3. Give your PAT a name and click Create.
4. The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.

6. Set Port to 14333
7. Set Database to the name of the connection you previously configured, e.g. Redis1.
8. Set Username to your Connect Cloud username
9. Set SSL Method to Encrypted (trust server certificate), leave the Replication Method as standard, and set SSH Tunnel Method to No Tunnel
10. (Optional) Set Schema to anything you want to apply to the source
11. Set Password to your Connect Cloud PAT
12. (Optional) Enter any needed JBDC URL Params
13. Click Test and Save to create the data source.
