Package ETL Source Files and Configs into TAR.GZ Archives

ETL pipelines often require ad-hoc packaging of source extracts, transformation configs, and reference files into a single bundle for staging, vendor handoff, or pipeline debugging. Deliteful handles this without requiring a scripted solution.

Data teams running ETL workflows encounter recurring scenarios outside the automated pipeline: preparing a sample extract bundle for a new vendor, packaging transformation configs alongside source files for a pipeline audit, or bundling test datasets with their schema documentation. These tasks don't justify a full automation build but still require a reliable archive format.

Deliteful supports up to 50 files or 2GB per batch and accepts CSV, JSON, XLSX, PDF, TXT, and other common formats. Output is a standard TAR or TAR.GZ archive — compatible with any extraction tool — with original filenames preserved throughout.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload ETL source files

    Add CSV extracts, JSON configs, XLSX mappings, and any supporting documentation — up to 50 files or 2GB.

  2. 2

    Name the archive

    Use a descriptive name like pipeline-name-source-bundle-date.tar.gz for traceability.

  3. 3

    Set compression preference

    Enable GZIP for a compressed archive or disable for plain TAR, based on pipeline or vendor requirements.

  4. 4

    Download the package

    Retrieve the archive for SFTP drop, S3 staging, or direct delivery to the pipeline consumer.
