Functional Data Engineering — a modern paradigm for batch data processing

Maxime Beauchemin

Batch data processing  — historically known as ETL —  is extremely challenging. In this post, we’ll explore how applying the functional programming paradigm to data engineering can bring a lot of clarity to the process. The greater the claim made using analytics, the greater the scrutiny on the process should be.
