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 File-Based Access.
- 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 | File-Based Access | |
Apache Spark | Databricks | Pull | File-Based Access |
Distributed Query Services | Presto | Push | Write Connector |
BI Tools | Pull | JDBC / ODBC Connection | |
Record Samples (Ensuring Pipeline Health) | CI / CD systems | Pull | Python SDK |
