Introduction to the VDK SDK

  • Framework to simplify data ingestion and data processing.
  • Write any code using Python or SQL.
  • A toolset enabling you to run data jobs.

Get started with VDK SDK:

➡ Install Quickstart VDK. Only requirement is Python 3.7+.
pip install quickstart-vdk
vdk --help
➡ Develop your First Data Job if you are impatient to start quickly.

Data Ingestion

  • Extract data from various sources (HTTP APIs, Databases, CSV, etc.).
  • Ensure data fidelity with minimal transformations.
  • Load data to your preferred destination (database, cloud storage).

Ingestion examples:

➡ Ingesting data from REST API into Database
➡ Ingesting data from DB into Database
➡ Ingesting local CSV file into Database
➡ Incremental ingestion using Job Properties

Data Transformation

  • SQL and Python parameterized transformations.
  • Extensible templates for data modeling.
  • Creates a dataset or table as a product.

Get started with transforming data:

➡ Data Modeling: Treating Data as a Product
➡ Processing data using SQL and local database
➡ Processing data using Kimball warehousing templates

Data Job Deployment (build, deploy, release)

VDK Control Service provides REST API for users to create, deploy, manage, and execute data jobs in a Kubernetes runtime environment.
  • Scheduling, packaging, dependencies management, deployment.
  • Execution management and monitoring.
  • Source code versioning and tracking. Fast rollback.
  • Manage state and credentials using Properties and Secrets.

Get started with deploying jobs in control service:

➡ Install Local Control Service with vdk server --install
➡ Scheduling a Data Job for automatic execution
➡ Using VDK DAGs to orchestrate Data Jobs

Operations and Monitoring

  • Use Operations UI to monitor, troubleshoot data workloads in production.
  • Notifications for errors during Data Job deployment or execution.
  • Route errors to correct people by classifying them into User or Platform errors.

Get started with operating and monitoring data jobs:

➡ Versatile Data Kit UI - Installation and Getting Started
➡ VDK Operations User Interface - Versatile Data Kit

Lego like extensibility

  • Modular: use only what you need. Extensible: build what you miss.
  • Easy to install any plugins as python packages using pip.
  • Used in enhancing data processing, ingestion, job execution, command-line lifecycle

Get started with using some VDK plugins:

➡ Browse available plugins
➡ Interesting plugins to check out:
       Track Lineage of your jobs using vdk-lineage
       Import/Ingest or Export CSV files using vdk-csv
➡ Write your own plugin
