Snowflake Data Engineering

This part of the book will prepare you for your journey into Snowflake data engineering. Chapter 1 will cover Snowflake as a modern cloud data platform for various data-related tasks, such as data storage, processing, application development, and analytics. Snowflake is a popular choice for solutions encompassing data warehousing, data lakes, data analytics, and data science. In chapter 2, you will begin your data engineering journey by creating your first data pipeline in Snowflake. This pipeline will involve extracting data from a CSV file into Snowflake, transforming the raw data into the required data model for reporting, and automating the process. By the end of this part of the book, you will have a solid understanding of the fundamental Snowflake features needed to extract and transform data from a file into Snowflake. This will serve as a foundation for the next part where you will enhance the pipeline with additional functionality.
