Building Batch Data Pipelines on Google Cloud (edX)

Furthermore, this course covers several technologies on Google Cloud for data transformation including BigQuery, executing Spark on Dataproc, pipeline graphs in Cloud Data Fusion and serverless data processing with Dataflow. Learners will get hands-on experience building data pipeline components on Google Cloud using Qwiklabs.

This course is part of the Google Cloud Data Engineer Learning Path Professional Certificate.

What you'll learn

- Review different methods of data loading: EL, ELT and ETL and when to use what

- Run Hadoop on Dataproc, leverage Cloud Storage, and optimize Dataproc jobs

- Build your data processing pipelines using Dataflow

- Manage data pipelines with Data Fusion and Cloud Composer
