Do you want to migrate your SendGrid to Redshift? Here is an easy and quick solution to transfer your data using an ETL tool: Daton.
Your marketing team might employ a combination of applications for marketing automation, the sales team might rely on lead management software to manage leads, and the product team might use some database for storing customer insights. This leads to the fragmentation of data across different tools and results in data silos.
If your team is using SendGrid for sending emails to the customers it means you must collect transactional and marketing data and move it from the database that supports and handles large volumes of data. Replicating your SendGrid data to Redshift can help you run anything from complex ad-hoc queries to standard reporting, and easily combine SendGrid data with other sources.
In this blog, we will walk through two approaches to moving your data from SendGrid to Redshift, their advantages and disadvantages, and help you choose the right approach for your business.
Why integrate SendGrid to Redshift
Companies using SendGrid look to deeply understand the delivery analytics and analyze user journeys for data-driven marketing. Data silos can make it difficult to fetch even simple business insights and consolidating it into an Excel sheet for analysis can run into errors and data redundancy. Integrating your SendGrid to Redshift will help you to create a comprehensive backup of your data for future analysis. Optimizing and consolidating this data from all your disparate sources into one common destination like Redshift, enables quick data analysis for business insights.
SendGrid Overview
SendGrid is a trusted, cloud-based email delivery platform that drives engagement and business growth for marketers and developers. It provides and manages an email server on your company’s behalf so your communications with customers are delivered as needed. SendGrid has been built to serve developers and makes it fast for companies to send emails regardless of their environment. It allows you to send emails over HTTP or SMTP, or you can even use one of the company’s official client libraries.
Redshift Overview
Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service that makes it simple and cost-effective to efficiently analyze data using your existing business intelligence tools. It is optimized for datasets ranging from a few hundred gigabytes to a petabyte or more and is a very cost-effective data warehouse solution. Redshift offers the performance, speed, and scalability required to address your data warehousing and ETL needs.
How to replicate SendGrid to Redshift
Here’s an overview of the two approaches you can use to replicate SendGrid data to Redshift. This will allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both and choose the one that best suits your requirement.
Build your own Data Pipeline
This process needs a lot of experience and consumes a lot of time and manpower. The chances of errors are more due to multiple integrated steps one after the other. You need to extract data using SendGrid APIs & then connect it properly with the Redshift data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
