This book covers modern data engineering functions and important Python libraries, to help you develop state-of-the-art ML pipelines and integration code.

The book begins by explaining data analytics and transformation, delving into the Pandas library, its capabilities, and nuances. It then explores emerging libraries such as Polars and CuDF, providing insights into GPU-based computing and cutting-edge data manipulation techniques. The text discusses the importance of data validation in engineering processes, introducing tools such as Great Expectations and Pandera to ensure data quality and reliability. The book delves into API design and development, with a specific focus on leveraging the power of FastAPI. It covers authentication, authorization, and real-world applications, enabling you to construct efficient and secure APIs using FastAPI. Also explored is concurrency in data engineering, examining Dask's capabilities from basic setup to crafting advanced machine learning pipelines. The book includes development and delivery of data engineering pipelines using leading cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The concluding chapters concentrate on real-time and streaming data engineering pipelines, emphasizing Apache Kafka and workflow orchestration in data engineering. Workflow tools such as Airflow and Prefect are introduced to seamlessly manage and automate complex data workflows.

What sets this book apart is its blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, a structured path from basic to advanced concepts, and insights into using state-of-the-art tools. With this book, you gain access to cutting-edge techniques and insights that are reshaping the industry. This book is not just an educational tool. It is a career catalyst, and an investment in your future as a data engineering expert, poised to meet the challenges of today's data-driven world.

This book is designed to serve you as a desk reference. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, this book will help you with the fundamentals and provide you with job-ready skills to deliver high-value proposition to the business. This book is written with an aim to bring back the knowledge gained from traditional textbook learning, providing an organized exploration of key data engineering concepts and practices. I encourage you to own a paper copy. This book will serve you well for the next decade in terms of concepts, tools, and practices.
