Welcome to Data Engineering Learning Path 🌐

Data engineering is the backbone of modern data-driven systems, focusing on building and maintaining the infrastructure to store, process, and manage data efficiently. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your expertise, this path provides a structured approach to mastering the field.

Key Concepts in Data Engineering 🛠️

• Data Pipelines: Automate data movement between systems using tools like Apache Airflow or Luigi.
• ETL Processes: Extract, Transform, Load workflows are critical for data integration.
• Data Storage: Databases (relational, NoSQL) and cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud) form the foundation.
• Data Quality: Ensuring accuracy and consistency through validation and cleansing techniques.

Applications of Data Engineering 📊

• Big Data Analytics: Process vast datasets for insights using Hadoop or Spark.
• Real-Time Systems: Enable instant data processing for applications like fraud detection.
• Machine Learning Pipelines: Prepare data for training models with tools like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
