Discover how dimensional modeling simplifies complex transactional data for business users, boosts query performance for reporting and analysis, and supports data-driven decisions in data warehouses.
Explore non-additive facts where measures cannot be summed across dimensions, such as ratios, percentages, and averages, and learn to recalculate aggregates from revenue and cost figures instead of adding margins.
Navigate a data lake architecture from ingestion to consumption, detailing bronze raw, silver processed, and gold curated zones with governance, data quality, and scalable handling of streaming and batch data.
The world of data is changing fast. On one side, organizations still rely on proven data modeling and business intelligence fundamentals — star schemas, facts and dimensions, data warehouses, and ETL pipelines. On the other side, AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot are transforming the way we design, implement, and optimize data models.
This course brings both worlds together. It gives you a solid foundation in traditional data modeling while showing you how to use AI as a co-pilot in your daily work. You’ll learn how to design conceptual, logical, and physical models, build data warehouses and data marts, and understand how ETL and OLAP vs. OLTP systems shape your architecture. At the same time, you’ll discover how ChatGPT and Copilot can help you brainstorm schemas, generate SQL code, check data quality, and even document your models.
Unlike many theory-heavy courses, this one is practical and hands-on. You’ll work with free tools like MySQL Workbench and dbdiagram to create your models, build ETL flows with Apache Hop, and connect your data to Power BI for analytics. You’ll also tackle realistic dirty datasets, practicing data cleansing and transformation just like you would in a real project.
The highlight of the course is the FastBite Capstone Project, a simulated food delivery business. You’ll start from raw source data, design the dimensional model, implement a data warehouse in MySQL, build ETL flows to populate your fact and dimension tables, and finally connect to Power BI to answer real business questions. Along the way, you’ll learn how to use AI tools as your assistant: to suggest schema designs, classify facts and dimensions, generate transformation logic, and write documentation.
By the end of this course, you will:
Apply AI support with ChatGPT and Copilot at every stage of the modeling workflow
Confidently design and implement data warehouses and data marts
Master dimensional modeling with star schemas, SCDs, facts, dimensions, and additivity
Understand the role of ETL/ELT pipelines and where to implement logic
Build a portfolio-ready project that proves your skills in data modeling and business intelligence
This is the modern way to learn data modeling: combining classic BI best practices with AI-powered productivity.
If you want to build strong foundations in data modeling and business intelligence, while also learning how to leverage AI tools to become a faster and smarter data professional, this course is for you.
