Data Ingestion with Python Cookbook

Introduction to Data Ingestion

Welcome to the fantastic world of data! Are you ready to embark on a thrilling journey into data ingestion? If so, this is the perfect book to start! Ingesting data is the first step into the big data world.

Data ingestion is a process that involves gathering and importing data and also storing it properly so that the subsequent extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipeline can utilize the data. To make it happen, we must be cautious about the tools we will use and how to configure them properly.

In our book journey, we will use Python and PySpark to retrieve data from different data sources and learn how to store them properly. To orchestrate all this, the basic concepts of Airflow will be implemented, along with efficient monitoring to guarantee that our pipelines are covered.

This chapter will introduce some basic concepts about data ingestion and how to set up your environment to start the tasks.

In this chapter, you will build and learn the following recipes:

  • Setting up Python and the environment
  • Installing PySpark
  • Configuring Docker for MongoDB
  • Configuring Docker for Airflow
  • Logging libraries
  • Creating schemas
  • Applying data governance in ingestion
  • Implementing data replication

Technical requirements

The commands inside the recipes of this chapter use Linux syntax. If you don’t use a Linux-based system, you may need to adapt the commands:

  • Docker or Docker Desktop
  • The SQL client of your choice (recommended); we recommend DBeaver, since it has a community-free version

You can find the code from this chapter in this GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Data-Ingestion-with-Python-Cookbook.

Note

Windows users might get an error message such as Docker Desktop requires a newer WSL kernel version. This can be fixed by following the steps here: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/.

Key benefits

  • 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

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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data engineers and data enthusiasts seeking a comprehensive understanding of the data ingestion process using popular tools in the open source community.

I just finished reading this book last week. Having worked in data engineering field more than 10 years now , I found this book a great resource for someone who wants to build skills as a hands-on data-engineer . It offers a practical explanation of the data ingestion lifecycle, covering aspects like data discovery, ingestion from various databases, PySpark usage with different schemas, monitored workflows design, Airflow integration, error handling. The book's focus on open-source tools and real-world scenarios equips readers with skills to build efficient pipelines, ensure data quality, and troubleshoot effectively. I really liked the last section of data observability in the book where it covers the statsd , prometheus and grafana setup.Though I would have loved to more details on another popular data engineering stack Dbt,Snowflake, Yet fundamentals of building scalable data pipelines will remain the same regardless of the tech stack. I would highly recommend this book for data engineers seeking practical guidance and understanding of data ingestion challenges and solutions.
