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
Upload ETL source files
Add CSV extracts, JSON configs, XLSX mappings, and any supporting documentation — up to 50 files or 2GB.
- 2
Name the archive
Use a descriptive name like pipeline-name-source-bundle-date.tar.gz for traceability.
- 3
Set compression preference
Enable GZIP for a compressed archive or disable for plain TAR, based on pipeline or vendor requirements.
- 4
Download the package
Retrieve the archive for SFTP drop, S3 staging, or direct delivery to the pipeline consumer.
