Python for Data Engineering: Build Scalable Pipelines, ETL Systems, and Automate Data Workflows

Python for Data Engineering is a hands-on, practical guide for building reliable and scalable data systems using Python. Whether you're wrangling datasets, designing ETL pipelines, or automating workflows, this book walks you through every stage of the data engineering lifecycle. From data ingestion and transformation to workflow orchestration and cloud deployment, it equips you with the tools and best practices needed to build production-grade data infrastructure.
Designed for both aspiring and experienced data engineers, this book focuses on real-world implementation, covering modern tools such as Apache Airflow, Pandas, Docker, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. You'll learn how to process large volumes of data, schedule complex workflows, manage dependencies, and deliver high-quality data pipelines that scale.
Master the core skills of modern data engineering using Python. This book starts with fundamental concepts such as working with files, APIs, and databases and gradually moves toward advanced topics like parallel processing, CI/CD for data pipelines, and deploying to the cloud. Each chapter combines theory with step-by-step projects that demonstrate how to solve real engineering problems. Along the way, you'll learn how to debug workflows, document your pipelines, ensure reproducibility, and collaborate effectively in teams.
