§ What you get

Everything Parquet exposes, modeled and queryable.

Reads structured, columnar data from local Parquet files and streams it as tabular records with an auto-inferred schema. Supports common data types (integers, doubles, strings, booleans, and timestamps) and can flatten nested fields. This enables analysis of data lake extracts, exported warehouse tables, logs, and other datasets stored in Parquet format without relying on an external API.

◆Record

Row-level observations streamed from Parquet files; enable counts, sums, time-series trends, and cohort analysis when combined with timestamp fields.

general_data_storagecustomerengagement
◆Field

Columns and their inferred data types (including flattened nested attributes); define the dimensions and measures used for modeling, segmentation, and metric calculations.

§ How it works

Three steps. One afternoon.

01
Connect

Authenticate Parquet in a few clicks. OAuth, API key, or IAM role — we handle secrets and rotation.

definite connect parquet
02
Sync

We pull every stream into your warehouse. CDC where the API supports it; full + incremental otherwise. Hourly-or-faster, row-level secure.
