Amazon Redshift + Bruin

Source

Ingest Amazon Redshift data into your warehouse with incremental loading, quality checks, and full lineage. Defined in YAML, version-controlled in Git.

For business teams

What you get

100+ sources into ${pn}
Pull from any tool, database, or API directly into Amazon Redshift. One YAML file per source, all managed by Bruin.
Data quality you can trust
Column-level and custom SQL checks on any Amazon Redshift table. Bad data gets blocked before it reaches dashboards.
Full lineage visibility
Trace data from ingestion through transforms to final reports. When something breaks, find the cause in seconds.
SQL + Python in one pipeline
Build transforms in Amazon Redshift with both SQL and Python. Bruin resolves dependencies across languages automatically.

For data & engineering teams

How it works

100+ managed connectors
Ingest from any source directly into Amazon Redshift with one YAML file per source. Bruin manages connections and scheduling.
YAML-defined, Git-versioned
Every pipeline is a YAML file. Review in PRs, deploy with CI/CD, roll back with git revert.
SQL + Python assets
Build transformation layers in Amazon Redshift with SQL and Python. Bruin resolves dependencies and handles materialization.
Quality gates between stages
Quality checks run between ingestion and transformation. Bad data gets blocked before it reaches downstream models.

Before you start

Redshift cluster running and accessible

Security group allows inbound connections

Database user with appropriate permissions

VPC and subnet properly configured

Step 1

Add your Amazon Redshift connection

Redshift uses PostgreSQL-compatible connection format. Add this to your Bruin environment file — credentials are stored securely and referenced by name in your pipeline YAML.

Parameters

usernameMaster username or IAM user
passwordUser password
hostCluster endpoint URL
portPort number (default 5439)
databaseDatabase name

connections:
  redshift:
    type: redshift
    uri: "redshift://username:password@host:port/database"

Step 2

Create your pipeline

Define a YAML asset that tells Bruin what to pull from Amazon Redshift and where to land it. This file lives in your Git repo — reviewable, version-controlled, and deployable with CI/CD.

Available tables

staging.raw_dataanalytics.factsdimensions.customers

name: raw.redshift_staging.raw_data
type: ingestr

parameters:
  source_connection: redshift
  source_table: 'staging.raw_data'
  destination: bigquery

Step 3

Add quality checks

Add column-level and custom SQL checks to your Amazon Redshift data. If a check fails, the pipeline stops — bad data never reaches downstream models or dashboards.

Validate data freshness on every sync

Ensure IDs are unique across tables

Block bad data before it reaches downstream models

columns:
  - name: id
    checks:
      - name: not_null
      - name: unique

custom_checks:
  - name: freshness check
    query: |
      SELECT MAX(updated_at) >
        TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
      FROM raw.redshift_staging.raw_data

Step 4

Run it

One command. Bruin connects to Amazon Redshift, pulls data incrementally, runs your quality checks, and lands clean data in your warehouse. If a check fails, the pipeline stops — bad data never reaches downstream.

Backfill historical data with --start-date

Schedule with cron or trigger from CI/CD

Full lineage from Amazon Redshift to your dashboards

$ bruin run .
