Solution templates
Azure Blob Storage Integration - Direct Lift and Shift
This solution template shows you how to implement the blob direct lift and shift method—moving a blob object from a source storage account/container to the target storage account/container using Azure REST APIs.
Context Management with AWS Secrets Manager
This solution template shows you how a Talend Job requiring access to a database can programmatically call AWS Secrets Manager to retrieve the database credentials at run time rather than hard coding the Job in an external file or a database table.
Data Integration using Azure Storage Queue
This solution template shows you how to integrate Talend with the Azure Storage Queue service.
Integrating REST API and Amazon Aurora using Talend Components
This solution template shows you how to call a REST API service designed using Talend Cloud API Designer. The REST API service transmits NFL player statistics data, and a Talend Job fetches the data from the REST endpoint and updates an Amazon Aurora database.
Integrating Talend Big Data Batch Jobs with MongoDB
This solution template builds a Talend Spark Big Data Job to demonstrate a real use case. It shows you how downloaded data is pushed to a single collection, then prepared and reused for analysis.
This solution template shows you how to upload and read files on Box, a cloud-based file sharing service, and how to load stored data into SQL Server tables.
This solution template shows you how to upload and read files on Dropbox, a file hosting service, and how to load data stored on Dropbox into SQL Server tables.
Integration with Google Cloud Storage
This solution template shows you how to integrate with Google Cloud Storage (GCS) service to process data. Talend provides out of the box features for Google Cloud Storage operations using components such as tGSConnection, tGSGet, tGSPut, tGSBucketList, tGSBucketCreate, tGSBucketDelete, and more.
The Oracle using ELT Methodology solution template shows you how to build a Talend Job with two subJobs using the ELT Oracle components, such as tELTOracleInput, tELTOracleMap, and tELTOracleOutput.
PostgreSQL using ELT Methodology
The PostgreSQL using ELT Methodology solution template shows you how to build a Talend Job with two subJobs using the ELT PostgreSQL components, such as tELTPostgresqlInput, tELTPostgresqlMap, tELTPostgresqlOutput.
Talend Integration with Azure Cosmos DB
This solution template shows you how to convert a dataset from Azure Blob Storage, load it to Cosmos DB, and perform various analytics on the dataset.
Talend Integration with Microsoft OneDrive
This solution template shows you how to use Microsoft Graph, a RESTful web API that allows you to access Microsoft Cloud service resources, create folders, and download and upload files to users' personal OneDrive drives using Talend.
Talend Integration with Oracle Cloud Object Storage
This solution template shows you how to implement APIs to perform near real-time ingestion in object storage using Talend ESB. It focuses on setting up an Object Storage using Oracle Cloud Free Tier and leveraging APIs to perform various operations.
Using Talend REST Components in a Practical Use Case
This solution template shows you how to create REST API Jobs, including one that uses the OpenWeatherMap API Guide to consume REST API client services, and another that calls REST API web services.
