Unlock Complex and Streaming Data with Declarative Data Pipelines

Book description

Unlocking the value of modern data is critical for data-driven companies. This report provides a concise, practical guide to building a data architecture that efficiently delivers big, complex, and streaming data to both internal users and customers.

Authors Ori Rafael, Roy Hasson, and Rick Bilodeau from Upsolver examine how modern data pipelines can improve business outcomes. Tech leaders and data engineers will explore the role these pipelines play in the data architecture and learn how to intelligently consider tradeoffs between different data architecture patterns and data pipeline development approaches.

You will:

  • Examine how recent changes in data, data management systems, and data consumption patterns have made data pipelines challenging to engineer
  • Learn how three data architecture patterns (event sourcing, stateful streaming, and declarative data pipelines) can help you upgrade your practices to address modern data
  • Compare five approaches for building modern data pipelines, including pure data replication, ELT over a data warehouse, Apache Spark over data lakes, declarative pipelines over data lakes, and declarative data lake staging to a data warehouse
