Build a strong foundation in data engineering concepts and AWS distributed storage, focusing on S3 and essential data modeling techniques. Learn how to design, secure, and optimize storage solutions for analytics and reporting.

This course introduces the core principles of data engineering, including OLTP, OLAP, data marts, data lakes, and data lakehouse architectures. Learners will explore AWS S3 in depth, covering storage classes, security, performance, and architectural patterns. The course also covers data modeling fundamentals such as normalization, ER diagrams, and dimensional modeling, preparing learners to structure data effectively for analytics workloads. Learners progress through a blend of conceptual explanations and practical demonstrations, focusing on real-world scenarios and AWS best practices. The course emphasizes understanding foundational concepts and applying them to design robust, secure, and scalable storage and modeling solutions. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
