Master the Core of Modern Data Engineering – Build Real-World Pipelines with Airflow, AWS, Spark, and Python.
Take your first step into data engineering and future-proof your career with this hands-on, project-based bootcamp built on the modern data stack.
Taught by a senior data architect with 12+ years of real-world experience, this course blends theory and practice to help you design, build, and orchestrate scalable data systems like those used at top tech companies.
Whether you’re an aspiring data engineer, software developer, or analyst, this course will guide you through building enterprise-grade data pipelines from scratch, all through a real-life ride-hailing app project that simulates real-world data challenges.
What You’ll Learn
You’ll gain hands-on expertise in the most essential components of data engineering:
Section 1: Context Setup
Understand the Modern Data Stack and real-world data architectures
Learn how data flows across systems in data-driven companies
Set up your foundation using a ride-hailing app scenario
Section 2: Data Lake Essentials
Build scalable data lakes on AWS S3 with best practices
Master S3 architecture, partitioning, and schema evolution
Implement IAM, encryption, and lifecycle management
Get hands-on with Boto3 S3 APIs for automation
Section 3: Data Modeling
Design dimensional models (Star Schema) for analytics
Implement Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD Type 1 & 2)
Build ETL pipelines and data marts end-to-end
Section 4: Data Quality Frameworks
Learn how to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and consistency
Implement data validation and data contracts
Use industry best practices to maintain trust in data
Section 5: AWS Athena
Query massive datasets using AWS Athena (serverless SQL engine)
Learn DDL, Glue Catalog, workgroups, and automation via Boto3
Compare Athena, Presto, and Trino
Apply optimization strategies for performance
Section 6: Apache Spark on AWS EMR
Build scalable PySpark pipelines with the Write-Audit-Publish (WAP) pattern
Understand Spark architecture and APIs
Run production-grade Spark jobs on AWS EMR
Apply UDFs and data quality checks in transformations
Section 7: Apache Airflow Orchestration
Master workflow orchestration using Apache Airflow
Design DAGs, manage dependencies, and schedule jobs
Automate Spark jobs using a custom AWS EMR plugin
Build reusable, reliable orchestration solutions
What You’ll Build
By the end of the course, you’ll have built your own production-style data platform for a ride-hailing company, including:
A Data Lake on AWS S3
Dimensional Data Model with SCD logic
PySpark-based ETL pipelines
Automated orchestration with Airflow
Query layer powered by Athena
Data quality framework for validation and monitoring

Many courses just focus on one tool, but this one helped me understand the entire data pipeline end to end, ingestion, storage, transformation, and orchestration. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to build a strong foundation before jumping into tool-specific topics.

This course made complex data engineering concepts so easy to understand. The instructor explains things clearly, with practical examples and real-world scenarios. I finally understood how data ingestion, transformation, and orchestration fit together in a real pipeline. Highly recommended for anyone starting out.
