Kiba is a Ruby ETL framework for defining and running data-processing pipelines with sources, transforms, and destinations via a Ruby DSL. It is considered feature-complete and receives maintenance updates to stay compatible with supported Ruby versions.
Use cases
- build ETL pipelines in Ruby
- migrate data between databases like MySQL and Postgres
- load CSV files into a SQL database
- run scheduled data jobs from cron or rake
- stream large SQL result sets through transforms
- build an internal datawarehouse feed
When to choose
- you are a Ruby team needing maintainable, testable ETL jobs
- you want a lightweight code-first alternative to heavyweight ETL tools
- you need database-to-database migration or warehousing pipelines in Ruby
When to avoid
- you need a actively evolving framework with new features (Kiba is 'done')
- your stack is Python, JVM, or another non-Ruby ecosystem
- you need a GUI-based visual pipeline builder
