Build Streaming Data Pipelines on Google Cloud Training in Norway

In this course you will get hands-on in order to work through real-world challenges faced when building streaming data pipelines. The primary focus is on managing continuous, unbounded data with Google Cloud products.

Participants should have:

• Proficiency in a common programming language like Python
• A strong understanding of SQL
• Data fundamentals like data modelling, formats, and ETL/ELT processes
• Familiarity with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Target audience

This course is designed for:

• Data Engineers
• Data Analysts
• Data Architects

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Ingest and manage streaming data using Pub/Sub and Managed Service for Apache Kafka
• Build and deploy streaming data pipelines with Dataflow
• Implement streaming data solutions for real-time analytics and application serving with BigQuery and Bigtable

Module 1

Topics

• This module introduces the fundamentals of building streaming data pipelines on Google Cloud, providing a foundation for the entire course. It begins by outlining the course's overall learning objectives and introducing a practical, hands-on scenario that will be used throughout the content and labs to make the concepts tangible.

Objectives

• Introduce the course learning objectives, and the scenario that will be used to bring hands on learning to building streaming data pipelines. Describe the concept of streaming data pipelines, challenges associated with it, and the role of these pipelines within the data engineering process.

Module 2

Topics

• This module provides an introduction to streaming data use cases and architectures. You will learn about the applications and common architectural patterns for real-time data processing across four key scenarios: Streaming ETL, Streaming AI/ML, Streaming Application, and Reverse ETL.

Objectives

• Learn about the various streaming use cases and their applications, including Streaming ETL, Streaming AI/ML, Streaming Application, and Reverse ETL. Identify and describe common sampe architectures for streaming data including Streaming ETL, Streaming AI/ML, Streaming Application, and Reverse ETL.

Module 3

Topics

• This module provides a comprehensive overview of building streaming data pipelines on Google Cloud, covering the core services for messaging, processing, and analysis. It's designed to give you a hands-on understanding of how these components work together in a cohesive, real-time architecture.

Objectives

• Define messaging concepts
• Use the console to create various PS and Kafka elements
• Know when to use Pub/Sub or Managed Service for Apache Kafka
• Describe the DF service and challenges with streaming data
• Build and deploy a streaming pipeline
• Explore various data ingestion methods into BQ
• Learn about BigQuery continuous queries and using BigQuery ETL and reverse ETL
• Configure Pub/Sub to BigQuery streaming
• Architecting BigQuery into your streaming pipelines
• Describe the big picture of data movement and interaction
• Establish a streaming pipeline from Dataflow to Bigtable
• Analyze the BT continuous data stream for trends using BQ
• Synchronize the trends analysis back into the user-facing application

Module 4

Topics

• This module provides a comprehensive wrap-up of the course, summarizing the key concepts you've learned for building resilient and robust streaming data pipelines on Google Cloud.

Objectives

• Summarize the course and what you learned about the various Google products, what you achieved throughout the course, and what you're enabled to do next as a result of completing the course.
