About Data Engineering

Data Engineering is nothing but processing the data depending up on our downstream needs. We need to build different pipelines such as Batch Pipelines, Streaming Pipelines etc as part of Data Engineering. All roles related to Data Processing are consolidated under Data Engineering. Conventionally, they are known as ETL Development, Data Warehouse Development etc.
