# Data Ingestion

{% hint style="info" %}
**Distributional is now** [**Talaria Scientific**](https://talariasci.com)**.** The DBNL product described in these docs has been sunset; this documentation is preserved for reference. Read [the announcement](https://distributional.com/blog/distributional-is-now-talaria).
{% endhint %}

This section contains examples demonstrating how to get data into the DBNL platform using various methods all adhering to the [DBNL Semantic Convention](/configuration/dbnl-semantic-convention.md). Each example includes [working code](https://github.com/dbnlAI/examples), detailed explanations, and guidance on when to use each approach.

## Getting Started

If you're new to DBNL, start with the [Quickstart](/get-started/quickstart.md) which walks you through deploying a local sandbox and uploading your first data.

## Data Input Examples

DBNL supports multiple ways to ingest data.

* [**Direct OTEL Ingestion**](https://github.com/dbnlAI/examples/tree/main/adk_calculator_otel_direct): Stream traces in real-time from OTEL-instrumented applications
* [**SDK from JSON**](https://github.com/dbnlAI/examples/tree/main/adk_calculator_sdk_from_json): Load trace data from JSONL files and upload via the Python SDK
* [**SDK from OTEL**](https://github.com/dbnlAI/examples/tree/main/adk_calculator_sdk_from_otel): Batch upload OpenTelemetry trace exports
* [**SDK from Langfuse Export**](https://github.com/dbnlAI/examples/tree/main/sdk_from_langfuse_export): Import traces exported from Langfuse

## Repository

All example code is available in the [dbnlAI/examples](https://github.com/dbnlAI/examples) GitHub repository.
