Description

Introduction of DataOps Fundamentals

DataOps, or Data Operations, is a set of practices and tools designed to improve the quality and speed of data engineering and operations. It combines agile methodologies, DevOps practices, and advanced data management techniques to create a streamlined approach to data delivery, processing, and analytics. This course introduces the fundamentals of DataOps, focusing on the integration of data pipelines, automation, and real-time collaboration to ensure that high-quality data is delivered consistently and efficiently.

Prerequisites

Participants should have:

• A basic understanding of data engineering and data pipelines.
• Familiarity with databases, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, and data warehousing concepts.
• Experience with tools for data processing and analytics (e.g., SQL, Python, or cloud platforms) is beneficial but not mandatory.
• Familiarity with software development principles, especially agile methodologies and version control, will be helpful.
