• Data Axon Development Process Overview

Algoreus Genesis is your one-stop solution for data axons creation and management. It's a graphical tool that enables users - ranging from ETL developers and business data analysts to data scientists, engineers, and developers - to design and control data flows with the objective of data extraction, transformation, aggregation, and loading.

Whether you're interfacing with on-premise or cloud data sources, Algoreus Genesis simplifies data ingestion, integration, and migration processes. Building and managing data lakes have never been more streamlined.

1. Creating Axons: Navigate to the top left of the Genesis to select the type of data axon you wish to create - batch or real-time. Below this, you'll find the node palette, which hosts all available nodes needed for axon construction.

2. Validating Axons: Each stage of the axon has built-in validation logic to ensure successful execution of your transformations.

3. ETL Development Tasks: Genesis also assists with other ETL tasks including axon debugging via Preview, axon deployment, axon saving, axon resource configuration, axon job scheduling, and import/export of axons.

4. Nodes: The building blocks of a axon are called nodes, encompassing sources, transformations, and sinks. To add any node to an axon, simply click on it in the node section.

5. Node Configuration: Each node has mandatory fields indicated with an asterisk. Utilize the 'Label' field under the configuration section of each node to provide a comprehensive description. Depending on the node, you might observe an Input Schema on the left, a Configuration section in the middle, and an Output Schema on the right.

6. Schema Editing: You can tailor the output schema based on your requirements, permitting or disallowing nulls for each field, modifying the data type of any field, and pruning unnecessary fields from the output schema.

Data Axon Modes

Genesis facilitates two modes: Draft and Deployed.

1. Draft Mode: Within the Genesis, you can save your ongoing work on an Axon as a draft at any time. This allows for the configuration to be preserved and editing to be resumed at your convenience. To create a draft, assign your Axon a unique name and click 'Save'.

2. Deployed Mode: Upon completing axon design and debugging, and validating the data in Preview, the axon can be deployed. Once deployed, the axon transforms into an immutable, non-versioned entity. The axon can be run, deleted, or duplicated (which creates a draft version of the axon in the Genesis canvas).

Data Axon Development Process Overview

1. Establish an axon - incorporate sources, transformations, and sinks.

2. Preview the output - adjust the axon as needed to produce the desired output.

3. Deploy the Axon.

4. Configure Axon resources.

5. Execute the Axon.

6. Validate the output in the sinks.

Take advantage of Algoreus Genesis and transform your data management tasks with simplified, efficient processes.
