Youcan use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to convert your existing database schema from one database engine to another. You can convert relational OLTP schema, or data warehouse schema. Your converted schema is suitable for an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL DB, an Amazon Aurora DB cluster, or an Amazon Redshift cluster. The converted schema can also be used with a database on an Amazon EC2 instance or stored as data on an Amazon S3 bucket.

AWS SCT supports several industry standards, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), for connections to an Amazon S3 bucket or another AWS resource. AWS SCT is also compliant with Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). For details about AWS and compliance efforts, see AWS services in scope by compliance program.

AWS SCT provides a project-based user interface to automatically convert the database schema of your source database into a format compatible with your target Amazon RDS instance. If schema from your source database can't be converted automatically, AWS SCT provides guidance on how you can create equivalent schema in your target Amazon RDS database.

You can use data extraction agents to extract data from your data warehouse to prepare to migrate it to Amazon Redshift. To manage the data extraction agents, you can use AWS SCT. For more information, see Migrating data from on-premises data warehouse to Amazon Redshift with AWS Schema Conversion Tool.

You can use AWS SCT to create AWS DMS endpoints and tasks. You can run and monitor these tasks from AWS SCT. For more information, see Integrating AWS Database Migration Service with AWS Schema Conversion Tool.

In some cases, database features can't be converted to equivalent Amazon RDS or Amazon Redshift features. The AWS SCT extension pack wizard can help you install AWS Lambda functions and Python libraries to emulate the features that can't be converted. For more information, see Using extension packs with AWS Schema Conversion Tool.

You can use AWS SCT to optimize your existing Amazon Redshift database. AWS SCT recommends sort keys and distribution keys to optimize your database. For more information, see Converting data from Amazon Redshift using AWS Schema Conversion Tool.

You can use AWS SCT to copy your existing on-premises database schema to an Amazon RDS DB instance running the same engine. You can use this feature to analyze potential cost savings of moving to the cloud and of changing your license type.

With a couple of extra configs, dbt can optionally snapshot the "freshness" of the data in your source tables. This is useful for understanding if your data pipelines are in a healthy state, and is a critical component of defining SLAs for your warehouse.

These configs are applied hierarchically, so freshness and loaded_at_field values specified for a source will flow through to all of the tables defined in that source. This is useful when all of the tables in a source have the same loaded_at_field, as the config can just be specified once in the top-level source definition.

Some databases can have tables where a filter over certain columns are required, in order prevent a full scan of the table, which could be costly. In order to do a freshness check on such tables a filter argument can be added to the configuration, e.g. filter: _etl_loaded_at >= date_sub(current_date(), interval 1 day). For the example above, the resulting query would look like

Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

I know about few like Pentaho open source Mondrian server, but couldn't get any google result to setup complete platform. I'm not sure whether these components are compatible with each other? Could someone please list them along with their position in the chain?

A datawarehouse stack (or suite) usually consists of three layers. These are usually referenced as ETL (loading), Database & Reporting (interface). In addition, there are somewhat more advanced tools for performance and expert needs. These consist of Cubes and Statistical Analysis Tools.

As far as interoperability goes, the ETL tools and the reporting tools need to support whatever database you are using. However, since there are only two big open source databases, there is usually no problem mixing different solutions.

Data loading can be achieved by open-source tools such as Pentaho's Data Integration or Talend (an eclipse extension). I would suggest googling "open source etl" to tailor the solution for your specific needs.

You'll need a relational database (RDBMS). The two most prominent open-source players are PostgreSQL (used by Stack Overflow) and MySQL. While MySQL has a larger user base, Postgres is gaining more an more popularity ever since implementing several crucial features that were missing in earlier versions.

Pentaho offer reporting platform. So is BIRT (another eclipse extension). Again, Google is your friend for specific comparisons. Note that when if you choose Pentaho for both the ETL and Reporting tools you are likely to enjoy a better integration.You've also mentioned Mondrian, which is a tool to generate MDX queries over an RDBMS. MDX is the standard language for querying cubes.

At this point of time, assuming you are starting from scratch, I would recommend setting up the first two layers of the data warehouse - ETL & DB. You can later add any number of reporting tools above.

CDP Data Warehouse enables IT to deliver a cloud-native self-service analytic experience to BI analysts that goes from zero to query in minutes. It outperforms other data warehouses on all sizes and types of data, including structured and unstructured, while scaling cost-effectively past petabytes.

Running on Cloudera Data Platform (CDP), Data Warehouse is fully integrated with streaming, data engineering, and machine learning analytics. It has a consistent framework that secures and provides governance for all of your data and metadata on private clouds, multiple public clouds, or hybrid clouds.

Quickly make use of data already in the cloud by easily spinning up your data warehouse, connect to your AWS and Azure object storage, and start querying. A unique Burst to Cloud feature moves data and context (security, lineage, governance) from your data center to your choice of public cloud bucket ready to be queried right away.

Users can provision data warehouses in private or public cloud, identify data sets, and create visualizations independent of central IT. Cloudera Data Warehouse automatically scales up or down as necessary leading to proven price-performance advantages to ensure you stay within budget.

Migrate difficult workloads, either fully or partially, from traditional data warehouse to Cloudera Data Warehouse. Deploy use cases built on new types of data and accommodate an influx of new users, efficiently and affordably. Battle-tested open source engines such as Impala, Hive LLAP, and Hive on Tez and tools such as Hue and Observability provide flexible and fast analytics on structured and unstructured data, together, at scale.

A major step forward arrived in the 1970s, with a move to larger centralized databases. ETL was then introduced as a process for integrating and loading data for computation and analysis, eventually becoming the primary method to process data for data warehousing projects.

In the late 1980s, data warehouses and the move from transactional databases to relational databases that stored the information in relational data formats grew in popularity. Older transactional databases would store information transaction-by-transaction, with duplicate customer information stored with each transaction, so there was no easy way to access customer data in a unified way over time. With relational databases, analytics became the foundation of business intelligence (BI) and a significant tool in decision making.

Until the arrival of more sophisticated ETL software, early attempts were largely manual efforts by the IT team to extract data from various systems and connectors, transform the data into a common format, and then load it into interconnected tables. Still, the early ETL steps were worth the effort, as advanced algorithms, plus the rise of neural networks, produced ever-deeper opportunities for analytical insights.

The next major step in both computing and ETL was cloud computing, which became popular in the late 1990s. Using data warehouses such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Snowflake, data can now be accessed from around the globe and quickly scaled to enable ETL solutions to deliver remarkable detailed insights and new-found competitive advantage.

During data extraction, raw data is copied or exported from source locations to a staging area. Data management teams can extract data from a variety of different sources, which can be structured or unstructured. Those data types include, but are not limited to:

In this last step, the transformed data is moved from the staging area into a target data warehouse. Typically, this involves an initial loading of all data, followed by periodic loading of incremental data changes and, less often, full refreshes to erase and replace data in the warehouse. For most organizations that use ETL, the process is automated, well-defined, continuous and batch-driven. Typically, the ETL load process takes place during off-hours when traffic on the source systems and the data warehouse is at its lowest.

IBM DataStage is an industry-leading data integration tool that helps you design, develop and run jobs that move and transform data. At its core, DataStage supports extract, transform and load (ETL) and extract, load and transform (ELT) patterns.
