What of doing all this with Airbyte , Snowflake and dbtFusion for Ingestion, Storage and Orchestration respectively I’ve been curious to know your thoughts on the future of loading data with python especially as these tools get cheaper

We just launched a major new Data Engineering Professional Certificate on Coursera! Data underlies all modern AI systems, and engineers who know how to build systems to store and serve it are in high demand. If you're interested in learning this skill, please check out this 4-course sequence, which is designed to make you job-ready to be a Data Engineer. This is a new specialization taught by Joe Reis, the co-author of the best-selling book “Fundamentals of Data Engineering," in collaboration with AWS. (Disclosure, I serve on Amazon's board.) For many AI systems, data engineering is 80% of the work, and modeling is 20%. But people’s attention on these two topics is often flipped. This makes the job of the data engineer particularly important. In this professional certificate, you'll learn foundational data engineering skills while implementing modern data architectures using open-source tools: - Learn the key steps of the data lifecycle, to generate, ingest, store, transform, and serve data. - Learn to align with organizational goals to design the data pipeline right for your business' needs. - Understand how to make necessary trade-offs between speed, scalability, security, and cost. Joe has distilled into this specialization decades of experience helping startups and large companies with data infrastructure. He is also joined by 17 other industry leaders in the data field, who will help you learn in-demand skills for the growing field of data engineering. Please sign up here:
