Syllabus

WEEK 1
Getting Started with Cloud Data Engineering
This week, you will learn about the methodologies involved in Data Engineering. You will also learn to evaluate best practices for dealing with the end of Moore’s Law, develop distributed systems that apply software engineering best practices and evaluate best practices for implementing solutions with Big Data. You will apply these practices to build a GPU programming project using Numba and the CUDA SDK.

WEEK 2
Examining Principles of Data Engineering

WEEK 3
Building Data Engineering Pipelines

WEEK 4
Applying Key Data Engineering Tasks
This week, you will learn about key Data Engineering tasks including ETL, Cloud Databases and Cloud Storage. You will then apply this knowledge by building a serverless AWS lambda function that labels an image using the AWS Rekognition API.
