Introduction to AWS
Academy Data
Engineering
AWS Academy is a global program by Amazon Web Services that
partners with academic institutions to provide hands-on training
in various fields. The courses are free and offers certification upon
completion. During this 3-month internship at AWS Academy, I had
the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of data
engineering. Students work on real-world projects and labs.

Data Pipeline Design
Principles
1 Modularity
Designing pipelines with modular, reusable
components promotes flexibility and maintainability.
2 Scalability
Ensuring pipelines can handle growing data volumes
and processing needs is crucial.
3 Fault Tolerance
Incorporating error handling and recovery
mechanisms builds resilience into data pipelines.

Data Ingestion and Preparation
1 Data Source
Collect data from various sources, including databases,
APIs, and files.
2 Data Cleaning
Identify and address issues such as missing values,
duplicates, and inconsistencies.
3 Data Transformation
Apply data transformations to prepare the data for
analysis and modeling.
Batch and Stream Processing
Batch Processing
Efficient processing of large, static datasets in scheduled, resource-
intensive jobs. This approach is suitable for handling large volumes of
data
Stream Processing
Continuous, real-time processing of dynamic, high-velocity data streams
.
Hybrid Approach
Leveraging both batch and stream processing to handle a
variety of data needs.
