What is Data Engineering? Data engineering is the method to collect, process, validate and store data. It involves building and maintaining data pipelines, databases, and datawarehouses. The purpose of data engineering is to analyze data and make decisions easier.
Without spending a lot of money on hardware, it is possible to acquire virtual machines and install software to manage data replication, distributed file systems, and entire bigdataecosystems. No infrastructure to maintain and scale : The customers just need to store, process, and analyze bigdata.
With that in place, data engineers can build data pipelines to allow data to flow out of the source systems. The result of this data pipeline is then stored in a separate location — generally in a highly available format for various businessintelligence tools to query. This is not a simple task.
Data collection is a methodical practice aimed at acquiring meaningful information to build a consistent and complete dataset for a specific business purpose — such as decision-making, answering research questions, or strategic planning. Structured data is modeled to be easily searchable and occupy minimal storage space.
