Sluice

Sluice is a Ruby gem (built with Bundler bundler) to help you build cloud-friendly ETL (extract, transform, load) processes.

Currently Sluice provides the following very robust, very parallel S3 operations:

• File upload to S3
• File download from S3
• File delete from S3
• File move within S3 (from/to the same or different AWS accounts)
• File copy within S3 (from/to the same or different AWS accounts; optionally using a manifest)

Sluice has been extracted from a pair of Ruby ETL applications built by the [Snowplow Analytics] snowplow-analytics team, specifically:

1. [EmrEtlRunner] emr-etl-runner, a Ruby application to run the Snowplow ETL process on Elastic MapReduce
2. [StorageLoader] storage-loader, a Ruby application to load Snowplow event files from Amazon S3 into databases such as Redshift and Postgres
