The tap-looker
extractor
pulls data from
Looker that can
then be sent to a destination using a
loader.
Airbyte Usage Notice
Container-based connectors
can introduce deployment challenges including the potential need to run
Docker-in-Docker (not currently supported by services like AWS ECS, Meltano
Cloud, etc. see
FAQ
and
Airbyte's ECS deployment docs
for more details). Before using this variant we recommend considering if/how
you will be able to deploy container-based connectors to production.
For more context on how this Airbyte integration works please checkout out the
FAQ in the Meltano Docs.
