Book Summary

Data engineering has grown rapidly in the past decade, leaving many software engineers, data scientists, and analysts looking for a comprehensive view of this practice. With this practical book, you'll learn how to plan and build systems to serve the needs of your organization and customers by evaluating the best technologies available through the framework of the data engineering lifecycle.

Authors Joe Reis and Matt Housley walk you through the data engineering lifecycle and show you how to stitch together a variety of cloud technologies to serve the needs of downstream data consumers. You'll understand how to apply the concepts of data generation, ingestion, orchestration, transformation, storage, and governance that are critical in any data environment regardless of the underlying technology.

This book will help you

Get a concise overview of the entire data engineering landscape
Assess data engineering problems using an end-to-end framework of best practices
Cut through marketing hype when choosing data technologies, architecture, and processes
Use the data engineering lifecycle to design and build a robust architecture
Incorporate data governance and security across the data engineering lifecycle

Who Should Read This Book

Our primary intended audience for this book consists of technical practitioners, mid- to senior-level software engineers, data scientists, or analysts interested in moving into data engineering; or data engineers working in the guts of specific technologies, but wanting to develop a more comprehensive perspective. Our secondary target audience consists of data stakeholders who work adjacent to technical practitioners—e.g., a data team lead with a technical background overseeing a team of data engineers, or a director of data warehousing wanting to migrate from on-premises technology to a cloud-based solution.

Ideally, you’re curious and want to learn—why else would you be reading this book? You stay current with data technologies and trends by reading books and articles on data warehousing/data lakes, batch and streaming systems, orchestration, modeling, management, analysis, developments in cloud technologies, etc. This book will help you weave what you’ve read into a complete picture of data engineering across technologies and paradigms.

About the Author

Joe Reis is a business-minded data nerd who's worked in the data industry for 20 years, with responsibilities ranging from statistical modeling, forecasting, machine learning, data engineering, data architecture, and almost everything else in between. Joe is the CEO and cofounder of Ternary Data, a data engineering and architecture consulting firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, he volunteers with several technology groups and teaches at the University of Utah. In his spare time, Joe likes to rock climb, produce electronic music, and take his kids on crazy adventures.

Matt Housley is a data engineering consultant and cloud specialist. After some early programming experience with Logo, Basic, and 6502 assembly, he completed a PhD in mathematics at the University of Utah. Matt then began working in data science, eventually specializing in cloud-based data engineering. He cofounded Ternary Data with Joe Reis, where he leverages his teaching experience to train future data engineers and advise teams on robust data architecture. Matt and Joe also pontificate on all things data on The Monday Morning Data Chat.
