Fix Your Data Pipeline...From The Start

Nov 06, 2024

When it comes to data engineering, most people like to talk about modeling or automation.

But another area equally as important is what I call the "Landing Zone".

This is where all raw source data first lands in your database (or wherever you store your raw data).

Yet for some, they like to quickly brush past this area in favor of the more interesting aspects of the pipeline.

But in this week's video, I want to share 3 reasons why paying attention to your Lading Zone can be a huge benefit for your entire architecture.

And why you might be setting yourself up for bigger issues long-term by ignoring it.

Key Topics We'll Cover:

  • The purpose of a "Landing Zone"
  • How it impacts the entire pipeline
  • Example designs to implement it

Enjoy!
