From the Publisher
From the Preface
Data engineering as a distinct role is relatively new, but the responsibilities have existed for decades. Broadly speaking, a data engineer makes data available for use in analytics, machine learning, business intelligence, etc. The introduction of big data technologies, data science, distributed computing, and the cloud have all contributed to making the work of the data engineer more necessary, more complex, and (paradoxically) more possible. It is an impossible task to write a single book that encompasses everything that you will need to know to be effective as a data engineer, but there are still a number of core principles that will help you in your journey.
This book is a collection of advice from a wide range of individuals who have learned valuable lessons about working with data the hard way.
To save you the work of making their same mistakes, we have collected their advice to give you a set of building blocks that can be used to lay your own foundation for a successful career in data engineering. In these pages you will find career tips for working in data teams, engineering advice for how to think about your tools, and fundamental principles of distributed systems.
There are many paths into data engineering, and no two people will use the same set of tools, but we hope that you will find the inspiration that will guide you on your journey. So regardless of whether this is your first step on the road, or you have been walking it for years we wish you the best of luck in your adventures.
