Learn

When building a data platform, consolidating your various data sources is often one of the first steps. This is why Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) remains one of the most common use cases for Dagster.

ETL with Dagster is a seven-lesson course, with each lesson focused on a different aspect of ETL. Ingestion spans a wide range of topics, and this course is designed to guide you through both the practical steps and architectural considerations, from single-file ingestion to full-scale database replication. You'll learn how to incorporate key Dagster features to improve the maintainability of your ETL pipelines, and explore libraries and frameworks that pair especially well with Dagster to streamline ETL development.

ETL in Dagster

At Dagster, we practice what we preach. You can explore how we manage ETL for dozens of data sources in our own open data platform. Chances are, you're looking to build something similar.

This module covers:

• The fundamentals of ETL across various domains.
• Common ingestion patterns for static files, APIs, and database replication.
• Embedded ETL for quick-starting pipelines in Dagster.
• How Dagster components can simplify setting up integrations.

We believe ETL is foundational but it shouldn’t feel like a chore. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how to handle a wide range of integration patterns and discover that many can be implemented in just a few lines of code.
