14 Top Data Pipeline Key Terms Explained

Image
 Here are some key terms commonly used in data pipelines 1. Data Sources Definition: Points where data originates (e.g., databases, APIs, files, IoT devices). Examples: Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), APIs, cloud storage (S3), streaming data (Kafka), and on-premise systems. 2. Data Ingestion Definition: The process of importing or collecting raw data from various sources into a system for processing or storage. Methods: Batch ingestion, real-time/streaming ingestion. 3. Data Transformation Definition: Modifying, cleaning, or enriching data to make it usable for analysis or storage. Examples: Data cleaning (removing duplicates, fixing missing values). Data enrichment (joining with other data sources). ETL (Extract, Transform, Load). ELT (Extract, Load, Transform). 4. Data Storage Definition: Locations where data is stored after ingestion and transformation. Types: Data Lakes: Store raw, unstructured, or semi-structured data (e.g., S3, Azure Data Lake).

Numpy Array Vs. List: What's the Difference

Image
Here are the differences between List and NumPy Array. Both store data, but technically these are not the same. You'll find here where they differ from each other. Python Lists Here is all about Python lists: Lists can have data of different data types. For instance, data = [3, 3.2, 4.6, 6, 6.8, 9, “hello”, ‘a’] Operations such as subtraction, multiplying, and division allow doing through loops Storage space required is more, as each element is considered an object in Python Execution time is high for large datasets Lists are inbuilt data types How to create array types in Python NumPy Arrays Here is all about NumPy Arrays: Numpy arrays are containers for storing only homogeneous data types. For example: data= [3.2, 4.6, 6.8]; data=[3, 6, 9]; data=[‘hello’, ‘a’] Numpy is designed to do all mathematical operations in parallel and is also simpler than Python Numpy storage space is very much less compared to the list due to the practice of homogeneous data type Execution time is ...
