Automating Data Migration Using Apache Airflow: A Step-by-Step Guide

In this second part of our blog, we’ll walk through how we automated the migration process using Apache Airflow. We’ll cover everything from unloading data from Amazon Redshift to S3, transferring it to Google Cloud Storage (GCS), and finally loading it into Google BigQuery. This comprehensive process was orchestrated with Airflow to make sure every step was executed smoothly, automatically, and without error.

How to Optimize Amazon Redshift for Faster and Seamless Data Migration

When it comes to handling massive datasets, choosing the right approach can make or break your system’s performance. In this blog, I’ll take you through the first half of my Proof of Concept (PoC) journey—preparing data in Amazon Redshift for migration to Google BigQuery. From setting up Redshift to crafting an efficient data ingestion pipeline, this was a hands-on experience that taught me a lot about Redshift’s power (and quirks). Let’s dive into the details, and I promise it won’t be boring!

Stream and Analyze PostgreSQL Data from S3 Using Kafka and ksqlDB: Part 2

Introduction

In Part 1, we set up a real-time data pipeline that streams PostgreSQL changes to Amazon S3 using Kafka Connect. Here’s what we accomplished:

  • Configured PostgreSQL for CDC (using logical decoding/WAL)
  • Deployed Kafka Connect with JDBC Source Connector (to capture PostgreSQL changes)
  • Set up an S3 Sink Connector (to persist data in S3 in Avro/Parquet format)

In Part 2 of our journey, we dive deeper into the process of streaming data from PostgreSQL to S3 via Kafka. This time, we explore how to set up connectors, create a sample PostgreSQL table with large datasets, and leverage ksqlDB for real-time data analysis. Additionally, we’ll cover the steps to configure AWS IAM policies for secure S3 access. Whether you’re building a data pipeline or experimenting with Kafka integrations, this guide will help you navigate the essentials with ease.

How Security as Code Transforms Your DevSecOps Strategy

As technology advances and development cycles get shorter, cyber threats are growing faster than ever.

Traditional, manual security processes can’t keep up with the speed of modern development, which leaves systems vulnerable to attacks.

That’s where Security as Code (SaC) comes in. SaC automates security checks and policies, making them an integral part of the development pipeline. This ensures that security is built into every step without slowing down progress.

In this blog post, we will be exploring the role of SaC in DevSecOps, its benefits in maintaining speed and efficiency. Continue reading “How Security as Code Transforms Your DevSecOps Strategy”
