dbt packages can speed up your work

Once you replicate your Heap data with Stitch, you can use it in many ways. For example, you can use the data modeling and transformation tool dbt to prepare data for reporting, analytics, or machine learning applications.

Dbt has prebuilt packages for many Stitch data sources, including Heap. Here’s a look at code for modeling Heap data. This particular block of code sessionizes your Heap data.

Simplify your Amazon Redshift migration

When it comes to replicating your data to Amazon Redshift, conventional ETL is no longer the only game in town.

Writing ETL code requires big investments of time, money, and expertise that might otherwise be used for innovation. Most importantly, newer approaches to data ingestion deliver faster implementation than traditional ETL, so you can produce data analytics and business intelligence more quickly.

This is where Stitch can help.
