Ascend Integration Mechanisms
There are three mechanisms to integrate your data in Ascend to other systems:
- Push the data out from Ascend into another system. Our Write Connectors push the data out and keep the external system synchronized with the data in Ascend.
- Pull the data from Ascend into other systems. There are two interfaces to pull data, the JDBC / ODBC Connection and the Structured Data Lake.
- Pull records through the Python SDK. This mechanism is suitable for low latency, low volume of data fetches.
Common Integration Patterns
To help decide which mechanism and interface would best suit your integration, we've listed out the common tools and patterns used:
Integrated System | Examples | Mechanism | Interface |
|---|---|---|---|
Object Stores | Push | Write Connector | |
Databases + Warehouses | Push | Write Connnector | |
Notebooks | Pull | Structured Data Lake | |
Apache Spark | Databricks | Pull | Structured Data Lake |
Distributed Query Services | Presto | Push | Write Connector |
BI Tools | Pull | JDBC / ODBC Connection | |
Record Samples (Ensuring Pipeline Health) | CI / CD systems | Pull | Python SDK |
