Data Pipeline Implementation: how to do it yourself

These instructions build on what has been discussed in ELT, ETL and Data Pipelines. In that guide, we discussed the problems that arise in storing and using data for a company. In response to those problems, we introduced the concept of Data Pipelines, which helps the company become better aware of the data loading steps and incorporating these steps in the most optimal way to create a Data-driven Culture. We also discussed some specific tooling that can be used to properly deploy Data Pipelines. 

Now that we understand the concepts behind Data Pipelines, we will now apply them to implement a functioning Data Pipeline. Just like most of our data engineering processes, we follow a step-by-step plan and provide an implementation strategy for each step. 

Hopefully a step-by-step plan will give you a solid foundation when you are constructing your own Data Pipeline as well as the implementation methods.  You can find the whole code on our Giftlab.

How Docker and Kubernetes’ Open Source Technology is Winning Over Businesses

By Young Mavericks’ Data Engineer Don de Lange

Data Engineers must ensure that technological solutions for companies can actually be implemented. In order to fulfil these technical promises in an increasingly complex data-driven world, like many other Data Engineers, I use various software and data tools. Docker and Kubernetes, two leaders in the field of open source technologies, help to build, manage and scale apps in containers. In this blog I explain what Docker and Kubernetes are, why more and more companies are taking advantage of their expertise and how you yourself can take advantage of these platforms.
