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).

Here's to Know Data lake Vs Database

In a data lake, data stored internally in a repository. You can call it a blob. The data in the lake a no-format data, but you need a schema for the database.  Data lake Repository Database In the database, the Schema definition you need before you store data on it. It should follow Codd's rules. Here data is completely formatted. The data stores here in Tables, so you need SQL language to read the records. Poor performance in terms of scalability. Data lake It doesn't have any format - it's just a dump. You can send this dump to the Hadoop repository for data analysis. This repository can be incremental. You can build a database. The data lake is a dump of data with no format. It needs a pre-format before it sends for analytics. Data security and encryption: You need these before you send data to Hadoop. In real-time, you need to pre-process data. This data you need to send to the data warehouse to get insights.
