etl_ruby_wrapper

EtlRubyWrapper

EtlRubyWrapper is a Ruby gem that facilitates Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) operations by running a Go binary within a Ruby environment. It’s designed for projects that need efficient data processing using Go, with the convenience of orchestrating and handling processes in Ruby. This gem is especially useful for data migration tasks or integrating external data into your application.

Installation

Add the gem to your application's Gemfile by executing:

Copy code
$ bundle add etl_ruby_wrapper

Or, if Bundler isn’t being used, install the gem directly:

Copy code
$ gem install etl_ruby_wrapper

Usage

Here's an example of how to use EtlRubyWrapper:

Copy code
require 'etl_ruby_wrapper'

# Initialize the ETL wrapper
wrapper = EtlRubyWrapper::ETL.new

# Set up paths
csv_path = "path/to/your_data.csv"
db_conn_str = "user=youruser dbname=yourdb sslmode=disable"

# Run the ETL process
begin
  wrapper.run_etl(csv_path, db_conn_str)
  puts "ETL Process Completed Successfully!"
rescue => e
  puts "An error occurred: #{e.message}"
end

In this example, replace csv_path and db_conn_str with the paths to your CSV file and PostgreSQL connection string, respectively.
