Description

Introduction of DataOps for Data Science 

This course teams focuses on optimizing the entire data pipeline, from raw data collection to model deployment, in a way that aligns with both development and operational goals. In the past, Data Science and Operations were often siloed, leading to inefficiencies and delays in delivering data-driven insights. DataOps bridges this gap by applying agile methodologies, automation, and DevOps principles to data workflows. By enabling faster, more reliable data operations, it ensures that data scientists can quickly iterate on models, while operational teams can deploy and monitor them at scale. This course explores how DataOps practices can enhance collaboration between Data Science and Operations teams, ensuring high-quality data and models for timely business decisions.

Prerequisites

Participants should have:

• Basic understanding of Data Science principles and workflows.
• Familiarity with data engineering concepts, including data pipelines, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), and data integration.
• Experience with programming languages like Python, R, or SQL used in Data Science.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab).
• A basic understanding of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and data storage technologies.
