Introduction

Do you know what is Data Engineering or Big Data? This training program is in collaboration with AWS and developed to not only introduce to Big Data but provides hand-on experience in Big Data Engineering. This will cover all the content to know to how to streamline data processing, by leveraging the state of the art technology stack, i.e. AWS, Hadoop, Spark, Pandas, Python, Kafka and use the database management tool DocumentDB to store metadata.

What is Big Data

Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. But it’s not the amount of data that’s important. It’s what organizations do with the data that matters. Big data can be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.
