Mage is an open-source, hybrid framework for transforming and integrating data. ✨

Overview

🧙‍♀️ Welcome to Mage

Go from zero to Mage hero in under a minute. We'll walk you through installing Mage and running your first pipeline. 🦸‍♀️

Quickstart

Every user experience and technical design decision adheres to these principles.

Design

Core Design Principles

These are the fundamental concepts that Mage uses to operate.

Core abstractions

Global Hooks are a powerful feature in Mage that allows you to execute custom functions before or after an API request. These hooks can be used to perform additional operations, validate data, or integrate with external systems.

Global Hooks

Follow this step by step guide on creating a global hook in Mage.

Global Hooks Guide

Each block in a pipeline maps to an individual file within a project. Blocks can be reused and shared across multiple pipelines within the same project.

Use the output of a block to dynamically create more blocks.

Dynamic blocks

Data integration is the process of synchronizing data between two systems.

There are many ways to configure your data integration pipeline.

Configuration

Configure data integration pipelines

Load data from data integration sources and export to data integration destinations as blocks inside batch pipelines.

Generate and orchestrate the final output of a pipeline (aka data product). Data products can be globally referenced from any pipeline and its data output can be used in any block.

Create custom block and pipeline templates for your project.

Custom templates

The `io_config` YAML file contains the information and credentials required to access databases, data warehouses, and data lakes.

Project setup

There are a number of ways to enable version control, collaboration, and easy deployment using Git in Mage. We'll cover them all on this page.

Get started with Git

Git in Mage

This page will walk you through the process of authenticating with SSH or HTTPS and configuring Git for use with Mage Git Sync.

Configure Git

Mage can automatically keep track of previous versions of a file.

We love our UI, but here's how to develop in your favorite IDE, too.

Use an IDE

You can monitor many metrics for each of your pipelines and blocks.

Monitoring

Logging

Every data loader and transformer block has data validation capabilities built-in.

Data validation

Test the data produced by pipeline blocks using Great Expectations.

Unit tests

Mage uses AI to help you build data pipelines faster— with our OpenAI integration, you can automate the tedious parts of pipeline development and focus on the fun stuff.

AI generated code

There are 2 dashboards: a dashboard for all your pipelines and a dashboard for each pipeline. You can add charts of various types with different sources of data. Use these dashboards for observability or for analytics.

Dashboards

Customizable dashboards

Configure and run pipelines using no-code UI text fields, dropdown menus, checkboxes, toggle switches, and more.

Transformer Actions are a library of modular, reusable data transformations, reducing the boilerplate to perform common transformations on your data.

Transformer blocks

Execute SQL commands directly in your database, data warehouse, etc.

SQL blocks

Custom blocks are generic blocks for organizing your pipeline that may not fit into any of the other category of blocks. Unlike Scratchpad blocks, Custom blocks are executed as part of the pipeline.

Custom blocks

A markdown block is a standalone text block that supports markdown and can be used to make notes or organize your blocks.

Markdown blocks

R blocks

Reuse the same block multiple times within a single pipeline.

Replicating blocks

Reorder blocks in the notebook when editing a pipeline.

Our API powers everything in the app— our UI makes calls to the backend, which operates the app. You can learn more about how these work and make your own calls in this section.

API overview

Resources

API resources

Policies for resources determine what actions can be taken on the resource, what attributes can be read, and which attributes can be written.

Policies

API policies

This will determine what attributes of the resource are returned to the client in the response. You can have different sets of attributes be included in the response based on the action (e.g. create, detail, delete, list, update) or a custom format.

Presenters

Programmatically create multiple pipeline runs to backfill a pipeline.
