What you'll learn

  • Assess data integrity and pipeline performance using logging, validation checkpoints, and automated unit or end-to-end tests
  • Differentiate ETL and ELT architectures in terms of process sequence, tooling, and appropriate storage targets
  • Evaluate deployment and orchestration options that schedule, monitor, and retry pipelines in production environments
  • Identify the essential stages and components of Python-based data pipelines, including data sources, transformations, and destinations
  • Recognize pandas and SQL techniques for extracting, transforming, and loading both tabular and non-tabular datasets

Prerequisites

Data Warehousing ConceptsStreamlined Data Ingestion with pandas
1

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.
Start Chapter
2

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.
Start Chapter
3

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.
Start Chapter
4

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.
