TOP REVIEWS FROM MODERNIZING DATA LAKES AND DATA WAREHOUSES WITH GOOGLE CLOUD
We can see how fast, useful and pragmatic are moder data lakes and dataware houses. And of course some hands on experience to have fun.
The labs were awesome! The trainers in the video and in the demo were well prepared. The quizes however were short and not well thoughtful.
Good introduction and overview of the field of data engineering, data lakes and modern data warehouses and a hands-on walkthrough of all the technologies related to solving these problems on GCP.
I really like how the Google courses do not overwhelm the learner with too much information. The information was presented well and the labs were very practical with clear instructions.
