What you will learn

Knowledge of aws technology

After completion of this course in Data Engineering, the candidates will gain insight on the following areas.

  • By taking the Data Engineering certification training course, candidates will be able to work appropriately with utmost accuracy with massive datasets
  • Candidates will master tools such as AWS, Airflow and Spark.
  • Understand the process of creating NoSQL data and relational models
  • The process of monitoring and automating data pipelines will be learned 
  • The Data Engineering certification course will also help in the creation of efficient and scalable data warehouses 
  • Get an in-depth understanding of interacting and building a cloud-based data lake

The syllabus

Module 1 - Data Modeling with AWS

Introduction to Data Modeling
  • Define data modeling and learn how to structure data effectively to create knowledge, including polyglot persistence and when to combine relational, document, and graph databases for different needs
Data Modeling for Relational Databases
  • Apply relational database concepts and techniques, including ACID properties, normalization, star schemas, and JSONB columns, to organize and query structured and unstructured data S
Data Modeling for Document Stores and NoSQL
  • Explore NoSQL data modeling, covering document databases, storage formats, OLTP vs. OLAP, hot vs. cold data, and how models connect logical design to physical storage
Data Modeling for Graph Databases
  • Explore graph databases, emphasizing relationships as first-class data using nodes and edges, including NoSQL concepts, Cypher/GQL querying, modeling, and why graphs excel at connected data
Data Modeling for ACME
  • Apply your data modeling skills end-to-end: design a normalized PostgreSQL schema, flexible MongoDB collections, and a Neo4j recommendation graph for a growing e-commerce company

Module 2 - Data Warehouses on AWS

Introduction to Data Warehousing
  • Explore how data warehouses unify scattered operational systems into a single source of truth, and compare OLTP vs. OLAP, dimensional modeling basics, and star and snowflake schemas.
Dimensional Modeling for Analytics
  • Define fact grain, build fact and dimension tables with surrogate keys, and write Redshift DDL that encodes distribution styles, sort keys, and compression for performance.
Extracting and Transforming Source Data
  • Build ETL pipelines in Python that pull data from PostgreSQL, Cassandra, and Neo4j, then clean, conform, and derive dimensions for a consistent warehouse-ready dataset.
Loading, Optimization, and Validation in Redshift
  • Stage data through S3, load it with the COPY command, optimize tables for parallel query performance, create materialized views, and run data quality validation checks.
Build a Multi-Source E-commerce Analytics Warehouse in Redshift
  • Design a star schema and end-to-end ETL pipeline that integrates e-commerce data from three source systems into an optimized, validated Redshift warehouse.

Module 3 - Data Lakes and Lakehouses on AWS

Introduction to Data Lakes and Lakehouses
  • Differentiate between the data warehouse, data lake, and data lakehouse paradigms for structured and unstructured data, and learn medallion architecture principles
Building Data Lakes on AWS
  • Set up AWS S3 as a data lake foundation, ingest PostgreSQL CDC via DMS, catalog with Glue, query with Athena, and set up Lake Formation governance
Processing Data in the Lake with Spark
  • Transform bronze (raw) data to silver (clean/enriched) data with PySpark, then aggregate to gold KPIs (business metrics). Optimize your Spark queries with partitioning and caching.
Implementing Lakehouse Tables
  • Create Iceberg tables and S3 Tables with AWS Glue, implement ACID MERGE for CDC upserts, and query historical snapshots (time travel)
Exastore Data Lakehouse on AWS
  • Implement a full lakehouse solution with CDC pipeline ingestion, batch data ingestion, Spark ETL processing, medallion architecture, and lakehouse tables

Module 4 - AWS Data Pipelines and Orchestration with Airflow

Introduction to Data Pipelines and Airflow
  • Discover how Apache Airflow orchestrates data pipelines as code. Author DAGs and tasks, pass data with XCom, configure runtime parameters, apply Jinja templating, and build branching dependencies.
Data Lineage and Orchestration
  • Orchestrate production pipelines with schedules, data intervals, and catchup. Apply single-responsibility design, debug with flatfile snapshots, trigger DAGs on asset events, and map tasks dynamically
Orchestrating Warehouse Workflows with Amazon Redshift
  • Build end-to-end ETL and ELT pipelines that move data through S3 into Redshift. Use SQL operators, Jinja template inheritance, and data constraint checks, then deploy to production with Amazon MWAA.
Orchestrating Lakehouse Workflows with AWS Glue and Athena
  • Build a lakehouse on AWS with S3, Glue, Iceberg, and Athena. Automate ingestion, handle schema evolution with crawlers, and promote data through bronze, silver, and gold layers.
AWS Data Lakehouse Pipeline for Sparkify
  • Design an event-driven lakehouse with Airflow, S3, Glue, Iceberg, and Athena. Build three asset-triggered DAGs that ingest, transform, and promote data through raw, transaction, and analytics layers.
