Building Batch Data Pipelines on Google Cloud Training in Kazakhstan

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.

Participants should have:

• Basic proficiency with Data Warehousing and ETL/ELT concepts
• Basic proficiency in SQL
• Basic programming knowledge (Python recommended)
• Familiarity with gcloud CLI and the Google Cloud console
• Familiarity with core Google Cloud concepts and services
