Python Data Engineering Essentials: Learn Pipelines, ETL, and Automation
Master the art of building robust, scalable, and automated data pipelines with Python Data Engineering Essentials. This practical guide walks you through the end-to-end lifecycle of modern data workflows from raw data ingestion to clean, production-ready datasets using Python and industry-standard tools. Whether you're transitioning into data engineering or seeking to strengthen your automation skills, this book gives you the confidence and knowledge to tackle real-world challenges.
With a strong focus on ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, orchestration, cloud integration, and performance optimization, you'll learn how to design data systems that are not only reliable but also scalable and maintainable. Packed with hands-on code examples, real-life use cases, and deployment strategies, this book helps you move beyond theory and into production.
Python Data Engineering Essentials is your one-stop guide to building modern data pipelines with Python. You'll start with the foundations data ingestion, transformation, and storage then dive into tools like Airflow, Docker, SQL, and cloud platforms. You'll learn how to automate workflows, integrate APIs, optimize performance, and handle data at scale with confidence. Each chapter is designed to build on the last, culminating in a real-world project that demonstrates everything you've learned in action.
