Text processing ETL workflow
This workflow establishes an ETL pipeline for text analysis, retrieving information from Twitter, saving it in both MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and dispatching alerts to Slack according to sentiment evaluation.
How it works
The Text Processing ETL workflow is designed to facilitate an end-to-end pipeline for text analysis, specifically focusing on data retrieval from Twitter, storage in both MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and alert dispatching to Slack based on sentiment evaluation. The workflow operates in a sequential manner, utilizing various nodes to ensure smooth data flow and processing.
1. Twitter Node:
The workflow begins with the Twitter node, which is configured to retrieve tweets based on specific search criteria. This node is responsible for fetching real-time tweets that match the defined parameters, such as keywords or hashtags.
2. Sentiment Analysis Node:
Once the tweets are retrieved, they are passed to a sentiment analysis node. This node processes the text of the tweets to evaluate their sentiment, categorizing them as positive, negative, or neutral. The results of this analysis are crucial for the subsequent steps in the workflow.
3. MongoDB Node:
After sentiment evaluation, the workflow directs the processed tweet data, along with its sentiment score, to a MongoDB node. This node is configured to insert the tweet information into a MongoDB collection, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval of the data for future analysis.
4. PostgreSQL Node:
Simultaneously, the same processed data is sent to a PostgreSQL node. This node is set up to insert the tweet information into a PostgreSQL database, ensuring that the data is stored in a relational format, which can be useful for structured queries and reporting.
5. Slack Node:
Finally, based on the sentiment analysis results, the workflow utilizes a Slack node to send alerts. If a tweet is classified as having a negative sentiment, an alert is dispatched to a designated Slack channel, notifying team members of potentially concerning content.
This structured flow ensures that data is not only collected and analyzed but also stored in multiple formats and communicated effectively to relevant stakeholders.
Key Features
- Real-time Data Retrieval:
The workflow continuously fetches tweets from Twitter, enabling timely analysis of public sentiment on various topics.
