Dataprep is Google's self-service data preparation tool built in collaboration with Alteryx. Learn the basics of cleaning and preparing data for analysis and visualization, all in the Google ecosystem. In this course, you will learn how to connect Dataprep to your data in Cloud Storage and BigQuery, clean data using the interactive UI, profile the data, and publish your results back into the Google ecosystem. You will learn the basics of data transformation, including filtering values, reshaping the data, combining multiple datasets, deriving new values, and aggregating your dataset.

This course is part 1 of a 3-course series on Serverless Data Processing with Dataflow. In this first course, we start with a refresher of what Apache Beam is and its relationship with Dataflow. Next, we talk about the Apache Beam vision and the benefits of the Beam Portability framework. The Beam Portability framework achieves the vision that a developer can use their favorite programming language with their preferred execution backend. We then show you how Dataflow allows you to separate compute and storage while saving money, and how identity, access, and management tools interact with your Dataflow pipelines. Lastly, we look at how to implement the right security model for your use case on Dataflow.

While the traditional approaches of using data lakes and data warehouses can be effective, they have shortcomings, particularly in large enterprise environments. This course introduces the concept of a data lakehouse and the Google Cloud products used to create one. A lakehouse architecture uses open-standard data sources and combines the best features of data lakes and data warehouses, which addresses many of their shortcomings.

In this intermediate course, you will learn to design, build, and optimize robust batch data pipelines on Google Cloud. Moving beyond fundamental data handling, you will explore large-scale data transformations and efficient workflow orchestration, essential for timely business intelligence and critical reporting. Get hands-on practice using Dataflow for Apache Beam and Serverless for Apache Spark (Dataproc Serverless) for implementation, and tackle crucial considerations for data quality, monitoring, and alerting to ensure pipeline reliability and operational excellence. A basic knowledge of data warehousing, ETL/ELT, SQL, Python, and Google Cloud concepts is recommended.
