About the Course

Delve into the two different approaches to converting raw data into analytics-ready data. One approach is the Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process. The other contrasting approach is the Extract, Load, and Transform (ELT) process. ETL processes apply to data warehouses and data marts. ELT processes apply to data lakes, where the data is transformed on demand by the requesting/calling application. In this course, you will learn about the different tools and techniques that are used with ETL and Data pipelines. Both ETL and ELT extract data from source systems, move the data through the data pipeline, and store the data in destination systems. During this course, you will experience how ELT and ETL processing differ and identify use cases for both. You will identify methods and tools used for extracting the data, merging extracted data either logically or physically, and for loading data into data repositories. You will also define transformations to apply to source data to make the data credible, contextual, and accessible to data users. You will be able to outline some of the multiple methods for loading data into the destination system, verifying data quality, monitoring load failures, and the use of recovery mechanisms in case of failure. By the end of this course, you will also know how to use Apache Airflow to build data pipelines as well be knowledgeable about the advantages of using this approach. You will also learn how to use Apache Kafka to build streaming pipelines as well as the core components of Kafka which include: brokers, topics, partitions, replications, producers, and consumers. Finally, you will complete a shareable final project that enables you to demonstrate the skills you acquired in each module....

Overall it's a good course. I wish I could use dos2unix, tr, or sed for removing ^M from the toll_data.tsv. The Final Assignment Instructions could have been clearer.

Course Is Good but, if you can add some more practicles that will surely help understand better and help all learner grasp things very quickly.

As introductory level course this is well packed course. Off course it would have been better if the audio is not AI generated - the pace of speaking is not optimal, and can't really be adjusted to optimal. Maybe there is too much emphasis on bash scripting. Theoretical concepts, especially for Kafka can be better explained, especially scenarios with multiple topics, groups, brokers, failure scenarios. And in general reading materials are big point for improvement. The lab environment could have been more stable and updated with newer packages, but it is nothing to cry over.

I got to learn in the most practical way. I loved the course and how they connected the learnings of different tech stacks in one. One thing they can improve is by providing more reading materials which can help us learn the advances since the course covers more of basic aspect of the technologies.

Good compact summary of the topics.

Regarding the assignment: Good to have an environment for testing your code directly. Unfortunatly it was a bit unstable. Final assignment was a bit to much screenshots and lesser coding.
