FastIngest.Extensions.DependencyInjection 0.1.0

FastIngest

FastIngest is a high-throughput, constant-memory bulk ingestion pipeline for .NET (CSV/XLSX to PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MongoDB). Designed for enterprise workloads processing millions of rows without memory spikes, FastIngest leverages zero-allocation streaming readers, fluent validation, and native database bulk protocols (such as PostgreSQL binary COPY, SQL Server SqlBulkCopy, and MongoDB unordered BulkWriteAsync).

Architecture Overview

FastIngest processes incoming tabular data using a pipeline pattern that keeps memory usage constant regardless of file size:

Stream (CSV / XLSX)
        │
        ▼
┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ Sylvan Zero-Allocation Reader │  <-- Constant-memory row streaming
└──────────────┬────────────────┘
               │
               ▼
┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ Expression-based Mapper       │  <-- Strongly-typed record mapping
└──────────────┬────────────────┘
               │
               ▼
┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ FluentValidation Engine       │  <-- FailFast or CollectAndContinue
└──────────────┬────────────────┘
               │
               ▼
┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ Batch Buffering & Partitioning│  <-- Configurable batch chunks (e.g. 5,000)
└──────────────┬────────────────┘
               │
               ▼
┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ Native Database COPY Sink     │  <-- PostgreSQL Binary COPY FROM STDIN
└───────────────────────────────┘

Key Features

• Constant-Memory Streaming: Stream arbitrarily large files (gigabytes to tens of gigabytes) with fixed memory footprint.
• Native Database COPY: High-speed binary ingestion utilizing PostgreSQL COPY ... FROM STDIN (FORMAT BINARY).
• Validation Strategies:
  • FailFast: Immediately halts ingestion on the first invalid record.
  • CollectAndContinue: Collects invalid row details and exports an error report CSV while allowing valid records to proceed.
• Fluent Pipeline API: Composable, chainable pipeline configuration with progress tracking.
• SemVer 2.0 Driven by Git Tags: Automated versioning via MinVer and seamless CI/CD publishing.

Quickstart

1. Installation

dotnet add package FastIngest.Core
dotnet add package FastIngest.PostgreSql

2. Define Record & Validator

using FluentValidation;

public record CustomerRecord(int Id, string Email, string FullName, decimal Balance);

public class CustomerValidator : AbstractValidator<CustomerRecord>
{
    public CustomerValidator()
    {
        RuleFor(x => x.Email).NotEmpty().EmailAddress();
        RuleFor(x => x.FullName).NotEmpty().MaximumLength(100);
        RuleFor(x => x.Balance).GreaterThanOrEqualTo(0);
    }
}

3. Run Pipeline with PostgreSQL COPY

using FastIngest.Core.Common;
using FastIngest.Core.Pipeline;
using FastIngest.PostgreSql.Extensions;
using Npgsql;

await using var stream = File.OpenRead("large_customers.csv");
await using var connection = new NpgsqlConnection("Host=localhost;Database=mydb;Username=postgres;Password=secret");
await connection.OpenAsync();

var result = await FastIngestPipeline<CustomerRecord>.Create()
    .FromStream(stream, FileType.Csv)
    .WithMapping(mapping =>
    {
        mapping.Map(x => x.Id, "customer_id");
        mapping.Map(x => x.Email, "email");
        mapping.Map(x => x.FullName, "full_name");
        mapping.Map(x => x.Balance, "balance");
    })
    .ValidateWith<CustomerValidator>(options =>
    {
        options.ErrorStrategy = ErrorStrategy.CollectAndContinue;
    })
    .WithBatchSize(5000)
    .OnProgress(progress =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Processed {progress.RowsProcessed} rows ({progress.PercentComplete:F1}%)...");
    })
    .WriteToPostgresAsync(connection, "customers", CancellationToken.None);

Console.WriteLine($"Ingestion Complete! Succeeded: {result.TotalSucceeded}, Failed: {result.TotalFailed}");

if (!result.IsSuccess)
{
    var errorCsv = result.ExportErrorsToCsv();
    await File.WriteAllBytesAsync("ingest_errors.csv", errorCsv);
}
