Reliability by design: Implementing Test Driven Development Strategies in Python Data Engineering
Introduction In the rapidly evolving field of data engineering, maintaining high-quality, reliable, and efficient data pipelines is crucial for businesses to make informed decisions and stay competitive. One methodology that has been instrumental in achieving these objectives is Test-Driven Development (TDD). At its core, TDD involves a simple, yet powerful cycle: write a failing test […]
LLMs and chatbots: a brief update
Generally and historically, data engineering, analytics, and science efforts focused on progressing from data to knowledge/wisdom. The emergence of LLMs allows for the decomposition of wisdom/knowledge back down to data. This can enable novel discovery, integrate with information systems, and drive automated processes. GenAI Categories Generation: Use bedrock models to create code, text, or images […]
Agile ‘thin slice’ technique: Explained
Introduction In today’s fast-paced development environment, the Agile methodology stands out for its emphasis on delivering functional features to users as early as possible. This approach challenges traditional, lengthy development cycles by advocating for the incremental release of a product’s most essential functionalities. By prioritizing early delivery, Agile aims to provide immediate value to users, […]
Data Engineering Methodology: From requirements to hand-off
Introduction Joining or starting data projects in large enterprise environments with many stakeholders can be stressful, not to mention a technical implementation nightmare. When the primary stakeholders can’t (or won’t) give the project team clear requirements, the onus falls to the technical implementation team to create order from the chaos and organize the delivery team […]
