Data Engineering with AWS : Learn How to Design and Build Cloud-based Data Transformation Pipelines Using AWS
Gareth Eagar

The missing expert-led manual for the AWS ecosystem ― go from foundations to building data engineering pipelines effortlesslyPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in the PDF format.Key FeaturesLearn about common data architectures and modern approaches to generating value from big dataExplore AWS tools for ingesting, transforming, and consuming data, and for orchestrating pipelinesLearn how to architect and implement data lakes and data lakehouses for big data analytics from a data lakes expertBook DescriptionWritten by a Senior Data Architect with over twenty-five years of experience in the business, Data Engineering for AWS is a book whose sole aim is to make you proficient in using the AWS ecosystem. Using a thorough and hands-on approach to data, this book will give aspiring and new data engineers a solid theoretical and practical foundation to succeed with AWS. As you progress, you'll be taken through the services and the skills you need to architect and implement data pipelines on AWS. You'll begin by reviewing important data engineering concepts and some of the core AWS services that form a part of the data engineer's toolkit. You'll then architect a data pipeline, review raw data sources, transform the data, and learn how the transformed data is used by various data consumers. You'll also learn about populating data marts and data warehouses along with how a data lakehouse fits into the picture. Later, you'll be introduced to AWS tools for analyzing data, including those for ad-hoc SQL queries and creating visualizations. In the final chapters, you'll understand how the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used to draw new insights from data. By the end of this AWS book, you'll be able to carry out data engineering tasks and implement a data pipeline on AWS independently.What you will learnUnderstand data engineering concepts and emerging technologiesIngest streaming data with Amazon Kinesis Data FirehoseOptimize, denormalize, and join datasets with AWS Glue StudioUse Amazon S3 events to trigger a Lambda process to transform a fileRun complex SQL queries on data lake data using Amazon AthenaLoad data into a Redshift data warehouse and run queriesCreate a visualization of your data using Amazon QuickSightExtract sentiment data from a dataset using Amazon ComprehendWho this book is forThis book is for data engineers, data analysts, and data architects who are new to AWS and looking to extend their skills to the AWS cloud. Anyone new to data engineering who wants to learn about the foundational concepts while gaining practical experience with common data engineering services on AWS will also find this book useful.A basic understanding of big data-related topics and Python coding will help you get the most out of this book but it's not a prerequisite. Familiarity with the AWS console and core services will also help you follow along.
