Data Pipelines Capstone: Manufacturing

Data Pipelines Capstone: Manufacturing

Summary

This capstone is a guided project focused on establishing a data pipeline to transform data from source through the bronze, silver, and gold layers for a manufacturing organization

Description

This capstone is a guided project in establishing a data pipeline to transform source data through the bronze, silver, and gold layers for a manufacturing organization. It provides students with a series of Spark programming challenges replicating a real-world data pipeline construction. Spark programming skills like the importing/exporting of data, data manipulation, streaming, and visualization will be used and improved.

Duration

8 hours

Objectives

Upon completion, students should be able to:

  • Build complete data pipelines using Apache Spark and Python or Scala
  • Clearly articulate and apply the Bronze-Silver-Gold data pipeline philosophy
  • Read source data from a variety of formats and save as Delta tables
  • Clean, transform, and manipulate data DataFrames
  • Apply logical operations to DataFrames to answer organizational questions
  • Build real-time streaming analyses with structured streaming

Audience

  • This course is ideal for data engineers
  • This course is suitable for machine learning engineers and data scientists
