Data Engineering
Data engineering helps you extract more value from raw data
What is Data Engineering?
Within data teams, you come across different forms of what a data engineer does. At its core, data engineering is about creating a road network for information. Data engineers are the builders. They ensure that data flows from one place to another. They also collect information, check for correct information, and ensure it is stored securely.
During processing, data engineers make the data usable. Other people, such as data analysts or data scientists, then use this converted information to create valuable insights, such as how customers use a product or which products sell the most. These insights play an essential role in making the right decisions for businesses. With a solid foundation of data engineering, organisations develop better-informed strategies to strengthen their competitive position.
What is the difference between data engineering and data science?
Data engineering and data science are highly complementary but have different roles. Data engineers focus on transforming complex data into a usable form.
On the other hand, data scientists use this usable data to discover patterns and trends. They deploy statistical models and apply machine learning algorithms to make predictions, such as sales forecasts. This enables the organisation to make better decisions.
Organizations sometimes misjudge the essential role data engineering has in a data team. Data scientists and analysts are tasked with doing as much as possible with the current data. Only then does the data turn out not to be valid or reliable. The cause? Too little thought has gone into data engineering, resulting in minimal usable data. So, our tip is to start by getting a good data engineering organization in place!
