Slings from a data source to a data target.

How To Use

  1. Somewhere in your repo, create a Replication YAML file, something like this:
source: MY_POSTGRES
target: MY_SNOWFLAKE

# default config options which apply to all streams
defaults:
  mode: full-refresh # valid choices: incremental, truncate, full-refresh, snapshot

  # specify pattern to use for object naming in target connection, see below for options
  object: '{target_schema}.{stream_schema}_{stream_table}'

  # source_options: # optional for more advanced options for source connection
  # target_options: # optional for more advanced options for target connection

streams:
  finance.accounts:
  finance.users:
    disabled: true
  finance.departments:
    object: '{target_schema}.finance_departments_old' # overwrite default object
    source_options:
      empty_as_null: false
  finance."Transactions":
    mode: incremental # overwrite default mode
    primary_key: id
    update_key: last_updated_at

  1. Add your Connection credentials to your Github Secrets. In our example above, we need to set the connection URL strings as secrets in MY_POSTGRES and MY_SNOWFLAKE. See here for examples.

  2. Add this step to your Github Actions workflow:

steps:
  - uses: slingdata-io/sling-action@v2
    with:
      command: run -r my-replication.yaml
    env:
      MY_POSTGRES: ${{ secrets.MY_POSTGRES }}
      MY_SNOWFLAKE: ${{ secrets.MY_SNOWFLAKE }}
