Data Ingestion with Python Cookbook

Deploy your data ingestion pipeline, orchestrate, and monitor efficiently to prevent loss of data and quality
Key Features

• Harness best practices to create a Python and PySpark data ingestion pipeline
• Seamlessly automate and orchestrate your data pipelines using Apache Airflow
• Build a monitoring framework by integrating the concept of data observability into your pipelines

Book Description
Data Ingestion with Python Cookbook offers a practical approach to designing and implementing data ingestion pipelines. It presents real-world examples with the most widely recognized open source tools on the market to answer commonly asked questions and overcome challenges.
You'll be introduced to designing and working with or without data schemas, as well as creating monitored pipelines with Airflow and data observability principles, all while following industry best practices. The book also addresses challenges associated with reading different data sources and data formats. As you progress through the book, you'll gain a broader understanding of error logging best practices, troubleshooting techniques, data orchestration, monitoring, and storing logs for further consultation.
By the end of the book, you'll have a fully automated set that enables you to start ingesting and monitoring your data pipeline effortlessly, facilitating seamless integration with subsequent stages of the ETL process.
