Configure Developer Environment

You have got several options to set up:

Start with GitHub Codespaces

Use devcontainer (locally)

1. Install Docker on your local machine.

2. Install devcontainer CLI:

   Open command palette (CMD + SHIFT+ P) type Install devcontainer CLI

   

3. Next build and open dev container:

   # build dev container
   devcontainer build .
   
   # open dev container
   devcontainer open .

Verify you are in a development container by running commands:

terraform -v

yc --version

dbt --version

If any of these commands fails printing out used software version then you are probably running it on your local machine not in a dev container!

Deploy Infrastructure

1. Get familiar with Managed Service for Greenplum

   

2. Install and configure yc CLI: Getting started with the command-line interface by Yandex Cloud

   yc init

3. Populate .env file

   .env is used to store secrets as environment variables.

   Copy template file .env.template to .env file:

   cp .env.template .env

   Open file in editor and set your own values.

   ❗️ Never commit secrets to git

4. Set environment variables:

   export YC_TOKEN=$(yc iam create-token)
   export YC_CLOUD_ID=$(yc config get cloud-id)
   export YC_FOLDER_ID=$(yc config get folder-id)
   export TF_VAR_folder_id=$(yc config get folder-id)
   export $(xargs <.env)

5. Deploy using Terraform

   Configure YC Terraform provider:

   cp terraformrc ~/.terraformrc

   terraform init
   terraform validate
   terraform fmt
   terraform plan
   terraform apply

   Store terraform output values as Environment Variables:

   export DBT_HOST=$(terraform output -raw greenplum_host_fqdn)
   export DBT_USER='greenplum'
   export DBT_PASSWORD=${TF_VAR_greenplum_password}
   export S3_ACCESSKEY=$(terraform output -raw access_key)
   export S3_SECRETKEY=$(terraform output -raw secret_key)

Check database connection

Configure JDBC (DBeaver) connection:

Make sure dbt can connect to your target database:

dbt debug

If any errors check ENV values are present:

env | grep DBT_

Populate Data Vault day-by-day

1. Initialize data sources (External tables)

dbt run-operation init_s3_sources

1. Install packages:

dbt deps

1. Run models step-by-step

Load one day to Data Vault structures:

dbt run -m tag:raw
dbt run -m tag:stage

dbt run -m tag:hub
dbt run -m tag:link
dbt run -m tag:satellite
dbt run -m tag:t_link

1. Load next day

Simulate next day load by incrementing load_date varible:

# dbt_profiles.yml

vars:
  load_date: '1992-01-02' # increment by one day

And update data vault:

dbt build

Build Business Vault on top of Data Vault

1. Point In Time (PIT) table
2. Bridge Table
