This book offers a comprehensive exploration of data engineering principles, specifically in the context of Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Aimed at both beginners and intermediate data engineers, it serves as an excellent resource for those looking to understand the fundamentals of building scalable data pipelines using GCP services. The book is particularly well-suited for data engineers, cloud architects, and IT professionals seeking to build robust, scalable data pipelines using Google Cloud’s services.What I liked:One of the most valuable aspects of this book is its structured approach. Adi Wijaya begins by laying a solid foundation, introducing readers to essential tools such as BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Dataflow. From there, he builds upon that knowledge with more advanced topics like real-time data processing and machine learning integration, making it accessible for readers with varying levels of experience.The hands-on tutorials are another highlight, offering step-by-step instructions that allow readers to practice and implement what they've learned. This practical emphasis makes complex topics easier to grasp, particularly for those who prefer learning by doing. The author also includes command-line tools like gcloud and gsutil for interacting with Google Cloud services, providing readers with real-world experience in managing cloud resources. Additionally, the author does an excellent job showcasing real-world use cases, allowing readers to understand how these tools are applied in professional data engineering settings.Things which are missing as per my opinion:Although the book is packed with useful information, it may feel fast-paced for absolute beginners to cloud computing. Some prior understanding of cloud concepts would be beneficial to fully grasp the more advanced sections. Additionally, while the book provides a detailed look into GCP, readers looking for cross-platform comparisons (e.g., AWS or Azure) won’t find such insights here.Final Thoughts:Overall, "Data Engineering with Google Cloud Platform" is a highly valuable resource for anyone looking to master data engineering within GCP. Adi Wijaya delivers a balanced mix of theory and practical application, making it an ideal read for aspiring and practicing data engineers. Whether you're developing pipelines, optimizing workflows, or integrating machine learning, this book provides the knowledge you need to excel in GCP’s data ecosystem.

Many concepts are covered (batch and streaming data pipeline creation, job orchestration, data governance and cost strategies) - as well as GCP cloud data storage options (with discussions in data warehouse design using BigQuery).The book went into more complex data engineering concepts in GCP such as ephemeral clusters, Dataproc (examining Hadoop, Spark and Dataframe concepts) and CI/CD practices.Note:For the curious minded engineer who ask, “dude … you mentioned ephemeral clusters. What’s the difference in ephemeral and persistent clusters???”Good question! With Persistent clusters there always is some infrastructure running. But with ephemeral clusters the clusters are created, exist for the time it takes for jobs to complete, and then cease to exist when they are brought downHow about transient clusters? I’ll leave that research up to you!“Lots of examples and exercises” are provided that enable a “hands on experience” for the reader to engage for greater understanding.This book provides data engineers with the concepts, hands on activities and guidance necessary to navigate the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Topics are good but needs more explanations and better screenshots. Some screenshots are not readable and partial. There are grammatical and spelling errors in the sentences and some codes.

Google Cloud Platform can be a very broad topic and contains many different products and services, yet this author was able to articulate on data engineering within the platform in a way that was much less dense than other books I’ve read. I am a data engineer and work with GCP on a daily basis. It was a pretty easy read while containing a lot of insightful and useful information about building data pipelines and other necessary activities of data engineering. The author also provided good color on how the platform is often used in particular industries which I found both useful and interesting. This book is a must-read if you have an interest in becoming a more functional and knowledgeable data engineer using GCP.
