COURSE QUESTIONS

Answers before you begin.

Is SQL still important for modern data engineering?+

Yes. SQL remains central to transformation, modelling, quality checks and analytics across many cloud data platforms.

What is the difference between batch and streaming?+

Batch processes bounded data on a schedule. Streaming handles events continuously or in very small intervals, with additional ordering, latency and recovery concerns.

Do I need to know Apache Kafka before starting?+

No. The course introduces event-streaming concepts first. You can later apply them to Kafka or another managed platform.

How does data engineering support AI?+

AI systems need trustworthy, discoverable and timely data. Pipelines provide ingestion, transformation, quality, lineage and serving foundations.
