# 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 ?
|
|
|
|
Mostly data scientists that don't really care about the underlying database and would like a simple and consistent way to read/write and move data are well served. Additionally we implemented lightweight Extract Transform Loading API and command line (CLI) tool. Finally it is possible to add pre/post processing pipeline functions to read/write
|
|
|
|
1. Familiarity with **pandas data-frames**
|
|
2. Connectivity **drivers** are included
|
|
3. Reading/Writing data from various sources
|
|
4. Useful for data migrations or **ETL**
|

## Installation
|
|
|
|
Within the virtual environment perform the following :
|
|
|
|
pip install git+https://github.com/lnyemba/data-transport.git
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- read/write from over a dozen databases
|
|
- run ETL jobs seamlessly
|
|
- scales and integrates into shared environments like apache zeppelin; jupyterhub; SageMaker; ...
|
|
|
|
## What's new
|
|
|
|
Unlike older versions 2.0 and under, we focus on collaborative environments like jupyter-x servers; apache zeppelin:
|
|
|
|
1. Simpler syntax to create reader or writer
|
|
2. auth-file registry that can be referenced using a label
|
|
3. duckdb support
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Learn More
|
|
|
|
We have available notebooks with sample code to read/write against mongodb, couchdb, Netezza, PostgreSQL, Google Bigquery, Databricks, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL ... Visit [data-transport homepage](https://healthcareio.the-phi.com/data-transport)
