Fundamentals of Data Engineering covers the fundamental concepts of creating and managing data infrastructure. It comprises data intake, storage, processing, and pipeline automation with SQL, Python, Hadoop, and cloud platforms. It focuses on creating scalable systems for efficient data handling while maintaining dependability, security, and real-time processing.

2. What is Data Engineering?
The process of creating, developing,
and managing systems for data
collection, storage, and processing.
Make sure that data is accurate,
readily available, and ready for
analyzing.
connects raw data to useful
discoveries.

3. Key Components of Data
Engineering
Data Collection – Gathering information
from multiple sources.
Data Storage – Utilizing databases, data
lakes, and warehouses for storage.
Data Processing – Converting raw data into
formats that can be used effectively.
Data Workflow Orchestration – Streamlining
the movement of data through automation.
Data Governance & Security – Maintaining
compliance and safeguarding data integrity.

MySQL).
NoSQL databases (MongoDB and
Cassandra).
Data Warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, and
Redshift).
Data lakes (S3 and Delta Lake).

6. Batch Processing (ETL) – for example,
Apache Spark.
Hadoop Stream Processing – for example,
Apache Kafka, Flink.
Hybrid Approaches – Combining batch &
real-time.

7. Data Pipeline Orchestration
Workflow automation tools: Apache Airflow,
Prefect, Dagster.
Steps in a pipeline:
Data ingestion
1.
Cleaning & transformation
2.
Storage & indexing
3.
Delivery to consumers

8. Data Quality- Validations, deduplication,
and anomaly detection.
Security- Encryption, access control (IAM)
Compliance- GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2.
Metadata Management- Process of
classifying data in order to make it
discoverable.
