Your credits can be found in the subscription homepage - subscription.packtpub.com - clicking on ‘the my’ library dropdown and selecting ‘credits’.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.

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.

One of the best books I have ever read, author is incredible in articulating Data warehousing, Data Engineering concepts, scenario are nicely explained , GCP data engineering tools are well explained with detailed steps. overall very nice book to learn Data engineering on Google cloud platform.

Daniel J. Hampton III Jun 17, 2024

I have been struggling to find a book that covered comprehensive big picture concepts as well as technical details and I think this book balances it quite well.

Johnnie Sep 15, 2024

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).

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.
