#045: What tools should you know as a Data Engineer?

Jun 07, 2023

Everyday there seems to be a new data tool.

And it can be hard to know what to learn.

 

In this video I want to share some of the most common ones across the modern stack.

Use the tools mentioned in this video to guide your learning.

Figure out what you want to learn next and overall become more aware of what's out there. 

 

**Important Note**

We'll be covering a lot of tools in this video.

I want you to know that you don't need to learn how to use every single one that's mentioned to be a great data engineer. 

I personally have not used all of them in depth and I've never met anybody who is an expert at them all either. 

Ultimately the goal is to give you a perspective of the overall data landscape and help guide your journey to becoming a great engineer. 

Pick out one tool you don't know today and start learning it. Once you master that, move on to another.

 

What will you learn? 

  • What tools are commonly used in modern Data Engineering.
  • A breakdown of tools by function (ex. database, infrastructure, etc.)
  • Awareness of the what's within a modern stack

Enjoy!
