Data Engineering for Modern Pipelines
Data Engineering for Modern Pipelines Data engineering is about moving data from many sources to places where teams can analyze and act. Modern pipelines combine batch work and real-time processing to support dashboards, alerts, and reports. The goal is reliable data that arrives on time, with clear expectations about format and quality. This requires a system built from small, well tested steps rather than a single, fragile script. A modern pipeline has stages: ingestion, cleaning, transformation, storage, and serving. Data contracts define what data must look like—names, types, ranges, and quality checks. Schema evolution and versioning help teams adapt without breaking downstream users. ...
