Looking to revolutionize your data transformation game with AWS? Look no further! From strong foundations to hands-on building of data engineering pipelines, our expert-led manual has got you covered.

Key Features
• Delve into robust AWS tools for ingesting, transforming, and consuming data, and for orchestrating pipelines
• Stay up to date with a comprehensive revised chapter on Data Governance
• Build modern data platforms with a new section covering transactional data lakes and data mesh

This book aims to help you achieve proficiency in using the AWS ecosystem for data engineering. This revised edition provides updates in every chapter to cover the latest AWS services and features, takes a refreshed look at data governance, and includes a brand-new section on building modern data platforms which covers; implementing a data mesh approach, open-table formats (such as Apache Iceberg), and using DataOps for automation and observability.

You’ll begin by reviewing the key concepts and essential AWS tools in a data engineer’s toolkit and getting acquainted with modern data management approaches. You’ll then architect a data pipeline, review raw data sources, transform the data, and learn how that transformed data is used by various data consumers. You’ll learn how to ensure strong data governance, and about populating data marts and data warehouses along with how a data lakehouse fits into the picture. After that, you’ll be introduced to AWS tools for analyzing data, including those for ad-hoc SQL queries and creating visualizations. Then, you’ll explore how the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used to draw new insights from data. In the final chapters, you’ll discover transactional data lakes, data meshes, and how to build a cutting-edge data platform on AWS.
