Learn to build effective, performant, and reliable data pipelines using Extract, Transform, and Load principles.

Empowering Analytics with Data Pipelines


Data pipelines are at the foundation of every strong data platform. Building these pipelines is an essential skill for data engineers, who provide incredible value to a business ready to step into a data-driven future. This introductory course will help you hone the skills to build effective, performant, and reliable data pipelines.



Building and Maintaining ETL Solutions


Throughout this course, you’ll dive into the complete process of building a data pipeline. You’ll grow skills leveraging Python libraries such as pandas and json to extract data from structured and unstructured sources before it’s transformed and persisted for downstream use. Along the way, you’ll develop confidence tools and techniques such as architecture diagrams, unit-tests, and monitoring that will help to set your data pipelines out from the rest. As you progress, you’ll put your new-found skills to the test with hands-on exercises.



Supercharge Data Workflows


After completing this course, you’ll be ready to design, develop and use data pipelines to supercharge your data workflow in your job, new career, or personal project.


Syllabus

  • Introduction to Data Pipelines
    • Get ready to discover how data is collected, processed, and moved using data pipelines. You will explore the qualities of the best data pipelines, and prepare to design and build your own.
  • Building ETL Pipelines
    • Dive into leveraging pandas to extract, transform, and load data as you build your first data pipelines. Learn how to make your ETL logic reusable, and apply logging and exception handling to your pipelines.
  • Advanced ETL Techniques
    • Supercharge your workflow with advanced data pipelining techniques, such as working with non-tabular data and persisting DataFrames to SQL databases. Discover tooling to tackle advanced transformations with pandas, and uncover best-practices for working with complex data.
  • Deploying and Maintaining a Data Pipeline
    • In this final chapter, you’ll create frameworks to validate and test data pipelines before shipping them into production. After you’ve tested your pipeline, you’ll explore techniques to run your data pipeline end-to-end, all while allowing for visibility into pipeline performance.
