    My FREE guide on how to become a data engineer:
    karolinasowinska.notion.site/...
    ***
    I currently work as a data engineer and I'd like to tell you what data engineering is all about! It's commonly confused with machine learning, data science etc., when in fact data engineering is quite a distinct area of technology.
    So, what do big data engineers do?
    The job revolves around bringing new data to the company (ETL process if you like) and then maintaining the data flow!
    Is data engineering a good career choice in 2020? Long story short - yes. As the amount of data we produce is growing rapidly, so is the demand for data professionals. However, my prediction is that many of the current data engineering tasks might get standardised, and eventually automated in the future. But hey, this is the XXI century! We'll have to learn new skills and adapt all the time!
    -------
    If you'd like to learn data engineering, I recommend following the 4 simple steps below to land you the first job interview:
    In this long-awaited Airflow for Beginners video I'm showing you how to install Airflow from scratch, and how to schedule your first ETL job in Airflow!
    We will run the Spotify ETL job that we created in my Data Engineering Course for Beginners. But if you have your own code to schedule in Airflow - feel free to use it instead!
    In this Airflow tutorial I just wanted to get you started with Airflow, because I know that configuring Airflow can be non-trivial. I won't be going in-depth into all Airflow's features, so hopefully this tutorial will be as beginners friendly as it can get!
    I'll show you how to fix some installation errors, how to set up your project folders, how to edit Airflow config file and where it sits, and how to write your first DAG file!
    Get ready for a ride!
    Oh, but grab some useful links first:
    -github code repo: github.com/karolina-sowinska/...
    -Airflow quick start guide: airflow.apache.org/docs/stabl...

    If you'd like to learn data engineering, I recommend following the 4 simple steps below to land you the first job interview:
    1. Learn Python
    I recommend following the Python for Everybody specialization course on Coursera, which is one of the most popular courses there:
    imp.i384100.net/x9gVO3
    2. Learn SQL
    SQL is still the lingua franca of data. I recommend going with Learn SQL Basics for Data Science course, because it contains some chapters which are very releavant to data engineering in partcular, e.g. distributed computing with Spark
    imp.i384100.net/QOMZ09
    3. Learn Bash scripting/Linux
    I wouldn't take a full course on it, but at least read a good article.
    if you do prefer to take a course/guided project, I think this one is short and good:
    www.coursera.org/projects/com...
    4. Learn how to develop on the cloud, e.g. on AWS
    There are a few good courses around there, but I think the Coursera one is the most comprehensive

    I am Data Engineer and I describe myself as follows: "I am like a plumber in the data world and ensure data flows from one abstract system to another in a scalable, consistent and standardized manner to allow the business users to consume the data in a usable way" . My only advise is to ensure all your pipelines are robust and fault tolerance/notifications are built into your data layer.

  • @juanluisduquelafuentes1823

    Thanks for another interesting video Karolina! You know...as I was watching the video and hearing you talk about the different tasks data engineers have to perform, I kept thinking about the inevitability of all of those processes getting automated eventually. And of course you concluded with that interesting tidbit about having to learn new skills because you anticipated automation. Just goes to show, not only do you have to identify new opportunities and learn new skills in order to keep thriving, but you also have to develop a strategy to become as financially independent as possible so that you’re not caught all of a sudden in a situation where your skills just cannot support a decent wage anymore. If that doesn’t motivate someone to get off the daily grind for a few hours a night and just sit down, make new plans, pursue other interests, and just think about the meaning of it all, I don’t know what will!

    • @karolinasowinska
      @karolinasowinska  Před 4 lety

      My thoughts exactly, Juan! What you said about financial independence in particular. Sadly, in the face of automation, it is those who are not financially independent, or whose skills are not sufficiently transferable, that will be hit the most.

      Can you let me know what is the career path for data engineer?
      Say I don't want to work as data scientist or machine learning engineer, I only like to do data engineering my my entire professional career.
      Can one go far just by working as data engineer only and doesn't move to other areas like ML or DS on the later stage?

    • @karolinasowinska
      @karolinasowinska  Před 3 lety

      Hi, absolutely! Data Engineering career path, like all career paths in technology, can take many shapes. But in majority of cases, you'll start out as a analyst/developer (building, fixing data pipelines), and then you will move on to assuming more responsibility, e.g. designing the entire data architecture of a company or managing teams.

    Do you need to learn Scala in order to manage ETL pipelines? (I know Python/SQL already)

    • @karolinasowinska
      @karolinasowinska  Před 3 lety +1

      I would say that data engineering is in more demand. You don't necessarily need Scala - the particular technologies depend on the company that you'd be working for. Python + SQL is definitely a base. I'd recommend learning about data modelling rather than Scala, because it's more universal :)

    Karolina: Subscribed! Great video, really nice and simple down-to-earth explanations! One point though: I think at one time you talk of HADOOP and you seem to imply that HADOOP has to be on premise? Technically I think that is not true. So, your company might have their own on-premise HADOOP cluster(s), but it is also possible to get "HADOOP as a service" in the cloud, on AWS or other cloud providers. Still, that makes no big difference is what you explained, since the activities you described apply no matter if on premise or in the cloud, but I thought I would point it out.

    Thanks for the video and it's rly nice to see another female data engineer voicing their thoughts. I've been a data engineer for officially, I'd say 1.5 years and I really enjoyed the net result of ups and downs. Data engineers understand business better than software engineers, and understand tech better than data analysts/scientists. So to me, when I look at it as a role in translating data for business, I find it quite impossible to be obsolete in the next 5-10 years UNLESS the average data literacy within a company has increased (making better and more careful choices on data inputs) or people turn to machine-generated data more than human-generated data (or when NLP and Deep Learning married for good to successfully "guess" the right data). Otherwise the business would always need to pull in a data engineer to scale their data while preserving its correctness.

    • @karolinasowinska

      Thanks so much! I live in the UK. I'd say DE is always a backend role, whereas full stack can involve some backend, and some frontend (like building GUIs). One more difference is that typically DE is responsible for bringing the data to a company for researchers to analyse. On the other hand, if SE does some back end work, this is typically to deal with data that their application generates. Of course everything will depend on a specific job. :)

    To your last point about standardization and automation, I'd honestly love if Data Engineering and ML Engineering came closer once this happened. DE's already have to deal with all the requests from MLE's, might as well just put them in the same room.
    I see both getting closer to being abstracted away to standardized tools within the broader software engineering ecosystem. More successful and matured design patterns just need matured first. But once this happens, I very well could just see software engineering jobs focused on ML and/or Data experience being the new norm.
