Here’s a high-level overview of what’s covered in this Data Engineering Bootcamp:

Introduction to Data Engineering
Get a clear roadmap of what modern data engineering looks like and ensure your setup is ready to go. This section also introduces key prerequisites like Docker and virtual environments.

Big Data Processing with Apache Spark: Process & Analyze Real-World Airbnb Data
Learn to harness the power of Apache Spark to process large datasets efficiently. You’ll work with the DataFrame API, UDFs, aggregations, and tune Spark jobs for real-world performance.

Creating a Data Lake with AWS
Create a scalable data lake using S3, EMR, and Athena. Understand columnar data formats and build a modern storage solution for batch analytics.

Implementing Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow
Learn how to coordinate data tasks using Airflow. You’ll build reliable workflows, handle retries and failures, and run Spark jobs and data ingestion tasks smoothly.

Machine Learning with Spark ML: Create a Data Pipeline, Train a Model + more
Build ML pipelines using Spark’s scalable ML library. From classification to regression and model tuning, you’ll integrate intelligent insights into your data pipeline.

Using AI with Data Engineering: LLMs, HuggingFace + more
Explore how LLMs can fit into the data engineering stack. Use Hugging Face and Outlines to classify, transform, and generate structured output within Spark workflows.

Real-Time Data Processing ("Stream Processing") with Apache Kafka
Dive into Kafka and build robust streaming applications. Learn about producers, consumers, data ingestions, Kafka transactions, and build data pipelines that process incoming data in real time.
Stream Processing with Apache Flink
Use Flink to perform complex stream processing. Work with keyed streams, event time, joins, and build responsive, intelligent streaming apps using Kafka data.
