Data Engineering - Tools & Intro

Data Engineering - Tools & Intro So I just realized that I am here after a month or so. I was busy at work and traveling. I am starting a kind of new series, I say it Data Engineering Series in which I will be discussing different tools. Of course, I am not able to discuss the entire concept of Data Engineering neither I know it as I will be learning myself. What is Data Engineering? Data Engineering is all about developing, maintaining systems that are responsible for transferring data in large volumes and make it available for analysts and data scientists to use it for analyzing and data modeling. Data engineering is a superset of Data Science or the subset, not clear to me but the collaboration of data engineers and scientists fruits useful data-driven solutions. Data Engineering tools It consists of several tools. Some are dealing with data storage while others with analysis and ETL. Ofcourse, Apache Kafka is one of them. The others tools that I might be covering are Apache Airflow, an ETL tool and Hadoop Ecosystem components like HDFS, Hive, Yarn, Pig etc. There is no such specific roadmap so tools can be covered in any order. Since I mostly work in Python, Java so will be trying my best to find some way to interact with Python or Java but it is not necessary as most of Hadoop related systems are in either Java or Scala. So, stay tuned and I will be back shortly with the new post.

Machine Learning & Deep Learning

Machine Learning & Deep Learning Understanding the latest advancements in artificial intelligence can seem overwhelming, but it really boils down to two concepts you’ve likely heard of before:  machine learning  and  deep learning . These terms are often thrown around in ways that can make them seem like interchangeable buzzwords, hence why it’s important to understand the differences. And those differences should be known! Examples of machine learning and deep learning are everywhere. It’s how Netflix knows which show you’ll want to watch next or how Facebook knows whose face is in a photo. And it’s how a customer service representative will know if you’ll be satisfied with their support before you even take a customer satisfaction (CSAT) survey. So what are these concepts that dominate the conversations about artificial intelligence and how exactly are they different? What is machine learning? Here’s a basic definition of machine learn...

Hadoop As Big Data

Introduction: In this blog, I will discuss Big Data, its characteristics, different sources of Big Dataand some key components of Hadoop Framework. In the two part blog series, I will cover the basics of Hadoop Ecosystem. Let us start with Big Data and its importance in Hadoop Framework. Ethics, privacy, security measures are very important and need to be taken care while dealing with the challenges of Big Data. Big Data: When the Data itself becomes the part of the problem. Data is crucial for all organizations. It has to be stored for future use. We can refer the term Big Data as the data, which is beyond the storage capacity and the processing power of an organization. What are the sources of this huge data? There are different sources of data such as the social networks, CCTV cameras, sensors, online shopping portals, hospitality data, GPS, automobile industry etc., that generate data massively. Big Data can be characterized as: The Volume of the Data Velocit...

Automatic Builds With GCP Cloud Build

Automatic Builds With GCP Cloud Build If you are looking for an easy way to automatically build your application in the cloud, then maybe Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Build is for you. In this post, we will build a Spring Boot Maven project with Cloud Build, create a Docker image for it, and push it to GCP Container Registry. 1. Introduction Cloud Build is the build server tooling of GCP, something similar as Jenkins. But, Cloud Build is available out-of-the-box in your GCP account and that is a major advantage. The only thing you will need is a build configuration file in your git repository containing the build steps. Each build step is running in its own Docker container. Several cloud builders which can be used as a build step are generally available. You can read more about Cloud Build on the  overview  and  concepts  website of GCP. There are three categories of build steps: Official  cloud builders provided by GCP; Community  cloud ...
