This book is a must-read for anyone looking to integrate data analysis and engineering principles effectively. The insights shared by the seven industry experts are both practical and enlightening, covering everything from data ingestion to modeling and visualization.

My only real complaint about this book is that the title doesn't do justice to the breadth of information contained in it.Whilst this may be aimed at fledgling Analytics Engineers it really covers the fundamentals of the entire Modern Data Stack.I think this is a great read for anyone starting out in data and gives a great overview of the evolution of data architectures as well as the essential concepts for all layers of modern day implementations.
