Replicate Pingdom to Snowflake in minutes

As your business grows, you start having a deluge of data on traditional databases and your queries start taking a lot of time. Hence, you start looking for a warehousing solution that can store your data in an organized manner and can make it readily accessible for reporting and analytics. Now if you are using Pingdom you may want to deeply analyze this data or store this data for future analysis. This can be a long and expensive affair without the right warehousing solution for data storage. Replicate Pingdom to Snowflake to optimize your website performance. Integrate this data with analytics, engagement, customer support, billing, and sales data to estimate your true ROI.

In this article, we will help you explore the basic overview of Pingdom and Snowflake and the importance of establishing Pingdom Snowflake integration for a business. Also, we will walk you through two approaches to integrating Pingdom to Snowflake as well as the advantages and disadvantages of both processes. So let’s check out.

 

Why integrate Pingdom into Snowflake?

Pingdom is a website and performance monitoring company dedicated to making the web faster and more reliable. Pingdom provides robust statistics allowing users to perform insightful analysis but getting granular insights from this data and comparing it with other data sources becomes crucial. Integrate your Pingdom data to Snowflake without compromising performance and data. With Snowflake as a data warehousing solution, it’s possible to analyze and optimize Pingdom insights easily and quickly together with data from other platforms, making analysis, reporting, and performance audit simpler.

 

Pingdom Overview

Pingdom is a website monitoring service that tracks the uptime, downtime, and performance of websites, ensuring you’re the first to know when a problem occurs. It delivers powerful web performance monitoring features for anyone with an online presence. It provides real user monitoring (RUM), enabling a deeper and wider understanding of the user’s digital experience, and web application availability and performance. Pingdom is perfect for digital marketers, web hosting providers, web developers, and IT/web ops.

 

Snowflake Overview

Snowflake is a modern, fully-managed cloud data warehouse built on top of the Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure and is available as a true SaaS offering. There is no hardware or software for you to select, install, configure, or manage with Snowflake. It uses a new SQL database engine with a unique architecture designed for the cloud. Snowflake offers far better performance, scalability, resiliency, and workload concurrency than any other cloud-based data warehouse in the market. It is capable of solving problems that legacy and on-premise data platforms were not designed to solve.

 

How to replicate Pingdom to Snowflake?

Here’s an overview of the two approaches you can use to replicate Pingdom data to Snowflake. 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 to be executed one after the other. You need to extract data using Pingdom APIs & then connect it properly with the Snowflake data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
