Fundamentals of Data Engineering

Plan and Build Robust Data Systems

De: Joe Reis, Matt Housley

Narrado por: Adam Verner

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; and incorporate data governance and security across the data engineering lifecycle.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The original book was quite well converted to audio form.

Please fix the chapter names, since they currently don't correspond to chapter names in the printed book.

technical yet consumable data engineering introduction

Well written and organized; excellent technical reference with current technology stack frameworks used. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is already in IT and interested to learnore about this specialization.

Great overview

Great overview of Data Engineering, as long as you are familiar with data concepts, this will be much
easier to understand.

Great for Hands on Business owners

While technical and exact. The book focuses on fundamentals, therefore usable even for non-computer programmers.

Great book and narrator

I liked this book, I think it gives a good high level view on the data engineering domain. Also it is one of the few audio books that cover this topic

Narrator made the magic

I liked the contents very well structured. Narrator did a very good job keeping you plug in

Great overview of the fundamentals of data engineering!!

The book "Fundamentals of Data Engineering" is giving a very good intro to the very big area it covers. It is defining Data Engineering based on the very lifecycle it serves, as well as the surroundings knowledge of data management.

Good info, awful recording,

Book does a decent job laying out the landscape of this discipline that underpins modern society. Digital supplement won’t load to mobile. The reading sounds robotic. Just buy the book online

Like reading a dictionary

I wish there had been more personality or storytelling. It reads like a textbook or dictionary. In the last chapter it mentions that they hoped they conveyed their passion and that really surprised me because the text was so detached that I didn't get any impression of the authors or their passion.

Supplamentary material is poor

Such a book should be accompanied by serious text and not just by a collection of figures without any further explanations. It is impossible to learn and to follow the book in the present way which is just a waste of time and money.
