I’ve already mapped out the overall ELT approach but now need a hands-on specialist to stand up the actual configuration that links my AWS stack to Snowflake and dbt. Here’s the situation • Source data sits in Amazon RDS and a few application buckets. • Raw files will land in S3, then flow through Glue jobs (Python) or DMS for change-data-capture. • Snowpipe and dbt models will take over inside Snowflake, with Airflow orchestrating everything. What I need from you I want the entire pipeline configured, secured, and proven end-to-end. That means creating the right IAM roles and policies, wiring up Glue/DMS to S3, setting up Snowpipe auto-ingest, and making sure dbt models execute under Airflow without manual intervention. Your experience with CDC, role-based access controls, and cost-efficient storage tiers will be critical. Key deliverables • Working AWS → Snowflake ingest path (S3, Glue or DMS, Snowpipe) • Parameterised dbt project deployed to my repo and scheduled via Airflow • IAM policies and Snowflake roles documented and applied • Step-by-step runbook so I can reproduce or extend the setup I’ll provide account access, sample data, and an architectural diagram on day one. Once the pipeline loads a sample table accurately and can be re-run from scratch via Airflow, I’ll consider the engagement complete and release final sign-off.

Hi, I can support this setup and help turn your mapped architecture into a working AWS → Snowflake → dbt/Airflow flow. I have hands-on experience with AWS, S3, IAM, RDS, Glue/Python, DMS concepts, Snowflake stages/Snowpipe, RBAC, and workflow automation. For this budget, I’d suggest keeping the first milestone focused on a clean MVP pipeline using your sample data, then documenting how it can be extended. My approach would be: * Review your architecture diagram, RDS source, S3 layout, and sample data * Set up least-privilege IAM roles/policies for S3, Glue/DMS, and Snowflake access * Configure S3 landing/raw paths and either Glue or DMS based on the CDC requirement * Create Snowflake storage integration, external stage, file format, Snowpipe, schemas, and roles * Add a basic parameterized dbt structure and connect execution through Airflow * Test with one sample table/file flow end-to-end * Provide a short runbook covering setup, rerun steps, IAM/Snowflake roles, and extension notes For a team working within a $750 cap, I would avoid overbuilding the platform in the first pass and focus on getting one reliable, secure, reproducible pipeline working. Once that is proven, additional sources, CDC edge cases, monitoring, and production hardening can be handled as follow-up work if needed. I’m available to review the diagram and confirm the exact scope before starting. Thanks, Kashif

Hello, Your architecture is already well planned, so the focus is making every stage reliable, secure, and fully automated from AWS to Snowflake. I have one question: do you want CDC configured only for Amazon RDS through DMS, or should S3 file updates also trigger incremental dbt models automatically? Looking forward to working together, and if you give me this task, your data might finally travel less than your coffee during deployment. Dev S.

Good to see this project, I will configure the full ingest path from RDS and S3 through Glue/DMS into Snowpipe, wire up your dbt models in Airflow with parameterised profiles, and lock down IAM policies paired with Snowflake role-based access controls. You will get the documented runbook covering every connection so you can extend it without me. One thing I will prioritize: setting up the Snowpipe SQS event notifications correctly from the start, because a misconfigured notification policy is where most auto-ingest setups silently break. Questions: 1) For the CDC sources, are you leaning toward DMS continuous replication or Glue with bookmarks? 2) Is your Airflow instance managed (MWAA) or self-hosted? I am happy to share relevant examples in chat. Let us map out the first step together. Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

You need a specialist who can turn your mapped ELT design into a fully working AWS → Snowflake → dbt pipeline, with Airflow running it end‑to‑end without manual touch. I’ve built similar data flows before, including an AWS CloudFront‑based automotive app where S3, IAM, and cost‑aware storage design were central to the architecture. As Juan Pablo, I’ll configure IAM roles and policies, wire RDS and buckets into S3 via Glue or DMS for CDC, set up Snowpipe auto‑ingest, and deploy a parameterised dbt project that Airflow can orchestrate reliably. I’ll validate the full path with sample tables, document roles and permissions, and deliver a clear runbook so you can rerun, extend, or adjust the pipeline confidently. If this matches the level of hands‑on support you’re looking for, we can align on scope and start.

Hey, the DMS-vs-Glue split for CDC on the RDS side is the part that usually trips people up, so good thing you’ve already got the architecture sketched out. I’d start by getting IAM roles scoped tight between S3 and Snowflake first, then wire Snowpipe auto-ingest before touching the dbt/Airflow scheduling so you’re not debugging two things at once. I’ve dealt with that exact “works manually but breaks on rerun” issue with Airflow-triggered dbt runs before, usually it’s a state or dependency thing. Is your RDS already set up for CDC, or is that still something we’d configure from scratch?

The biggest risk in your setup is not the tools but the handoffs: if CDC streams, S3 staging, Snowpipe notifications, and Airflow-triggered dbt runs are not tied together with least-privilege roles and reproducible artifacts, the pipeline will work once and then break silently. I’ve built production ETL flows where the operational gap between ingest and orchestration caused the most outages, so I’ll treat the job flow and security as a single deliverable. Approach: I will wire S3 staging to Snowflake via Snowpipe auto-ingest (S3 event -> SNS/SQS -> Snowpipe), implement CDC with either DMS or Glue jobs (we’ll pick the best fit), and convert raw files to compressed, partitioned Parquet for cost-efficient storage with S3 lifecycle rules. I’ll create minimal IAM policies and an AWS storage integration for Snowflake, implement Snowflake RBAC roles and grants, and configure Airflow DAGs that run dbt models from your repo using secure connections (Secrets Manager or Airflow connections). Deliverables include the working AWS→Snowflake path, a parameterized dbt project deployed to your repo and scheduled in Airflow, documented IAM and Snowflake roles applied, and a step-by-step runbook with rollback and repro instructions. Relevant example: CrowdAxis involved building reliable ETL cron jobs, normalization into a unified schema, and automated deployments so downstream scoring services ran without manual steps—similar operational needs and deployment discipline to what you describe. I’ll estimate 4–7 business days at $500 assuming account access and sample data on day one. Can you grant an admin-level AWS console role, Snowflake account user with necessary privileges, and Git + Airflow access? Also, do you prefer DMS CDC or Glue-based CDC as the primary ingest?

This looks like a great fit, We will configure your full AWS to Snowflake ingest path: RDS extraction via DMS with CDC, S3 landing zone, Snowpipe auto-ingest, dbt models, and Airflow orchestration. For the CDC setup, we will configure DMS with full-load-plus-CDC mode and structure the S3 landing zone with date-partitioned prefixes. This lets Snowpipe pick up only new change files, keeping warehouse credit usage low. A couple of quick things to confirm: 1) Is Airflow already deployed (MWAA, self-hosted, or Astronomer), or do we need to set that up as well? 2) How many source tables from RDS will the initial pipeline cover? The number quoted here is a starting estimate. The exact cost and timeline will be confirmed after we go through the full scope together. Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Faizan

Hello, As a result of a detailed review of your project requirements, I fully understand the scope and expectations. You need a hands-on AWS to Snowflake ELT pipeline configured end-to-end, secured properly, and proven through Airflow execution. I have experience handling similar data engineering projects and I'm available to start your project right now. I bring strong expertise in Python, AWS, S3, Glue, DMS, IAM, Snowflake, Snowpipe, dbt, Airflow, ETL/ELT, data warehousing, CDC, data modeling, and role-based access control. One of the key challenges in projects like this is making sure the ingest path is reliable from source to Snowflake while keeping permissions secure, costs controlled, and dbt/Airflow execution fully automated. I can configure IAM roles and policies, connect Glue/DMS to S3, set up Snowpipe auto-ingest, deploy parameterized dbt models, and schedule the full workflow in Airflow so it can be rerun from scratch without manual steps. I will also document the IAM policies, Snowflake roles, pipeline flow, and provide a clear runbook for future extension. I have a couple of quick questions. • Do you prefer Glue or DMS as the main CDC approach for RDS? • Is Airflow already deployed, or should I configure the DAGs into your existing environment? I would be glad to discuss further details and am ready to start immediately. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Carlos
