Reviews
Good introduction and overview of the field of data engineering, data lakes and modern data warehouses and a hands-on walkthrough of all the technologies related to solving these problems on GCP.
The labs were awesome! The trainers in the video and in the demo were well prepared. The quizes however were short and not well thoughtful.
We can see how fast, useful and pragmatic are moder data lakes and dataware houses. And of course some hands on experience to have fun.
Really well put together with interesting content and good examples. The labs allow really good practice and help to build confidence.
