Apply a basic extract, transform, and load flow within Airflow by iterating data items, transforming to uppercase, and printing loaded items, while wiring task dependencies.
Learn how the web server reads from the metadata database to display metadata, logs, tags, runs, and retries, without executing tasks, while workers distribute load for the salary executor.
Compare the local executor, a single-machine learning-friendly setup, with the production-grade salary executor using a scheduler, DAG plan, metadatabase, and a message broker to distribute tasks across workers.
Explore a data pipeline with extract, transform, and load tasks that execute in order only after success, with graph and tree views, UI triggers, and failure handling.
Data Engineering for Beginners with Hands-On Projects is a practical and beginner-friendly course designed to introduce students to the exciting world of modern data engineering.
