What will you learn

At the end of the program, you’ll combine your new skills by completing a capstone project.

Prerequisites

Students should have intermediate SQL and Python programming skills.

Data Modeling
In this course, you’ll learn to create relational and NoSQL data models to fit the diverse needs of data consumers. You’ll understand the differences between different data models, and how to choose the appropriate data model for a given situation. You’ll also build fluency in PostgreSQL and Apache Cassandra. Course Project Data Modeling with Postgres: In this project, you’ll model user activity data for a music streaming app called Sparkify. You’ll create a relational database and ETL pipeline designed to optimize queries for understanding what songs users are listening to. In PostgreSQL you will also define Fact and Dimension tables and insert data into your new tables.
Cloud Data Warehouses

In this course, you’ll learn to create cloud-based data warehouses. You’ll sharpen your data warehousing skills,
deepen your understanding of data infrastructure, and be introduced to data engineering on the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Course Project: Build a Cloud Data Warehouse

In this project, you are tasked with building an ELT pipeline that extracts their data from S3, stages them in Redshift, and transforms data into a set of dimensional tables for their analytics team to continue finding insights in what songs their users are listening to.

Spark and Data Lakes

In this course, you will learn more about the big data ecosystem and how to use Spark to work with massive datasets. You’ll also learn about how to store big data in a data lake and query it with Spark.

 

Course Project
Build a Data Lake: In this project, you’ll build an ETL pipeline for a data lake. The data
resides in S3, in a directory of JSON logs on user activity on the app,
as well as a directory with JSON metadata on the songs in the app.
You will load data from S3, process the data into analytics tables
using Spark, and load them back into S3. You’ll deploy this Spark
process on a cluster using AWS.

Automate Data Pipelines

In this course, you’ll learn to schedule, automate, and monitor data pipelines using Apache Airflow. You’ll
learn to run data quality checks, track data lineage, and work with data pipelines in production.

 

Course Project
Data Pipelines with Airflow:

In this project, you’ll continue your work on the music streaming company’s data infrastructure by creating and automating a set of data pipelines. You’ll configure and schedule data pipelines with
Airflow and monitor and debug production pipelines.

Capstone Project

Combine what you’ve learned throughout the program to build your own data engineering portfolio project.

 

Course Project
Data Engineering
Capstone:

The purpose of the data engineering capstone project is to give you a chance to combine what you’ve learned throughout the program. This project will be an important part of your portfolio that will help you achieve your data engineering-related career goals. In this project, you’ll define the scope of the project and the data you’ll be working with. We’ll provide guidelines, suggestions, tips, and resources to help you be successful, but your project will be
unique to you. You’ll gather data from several different data sources; transform, combine, and summarize it; and create a clean database for others to analyze.
