Cloud data platforms
Build pipelines on AWS, GCP and Azure.
📖 Key ideas
- AWS: S3, Glue, Redshift, Athena, Kinesis.
- GCP: Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Composer.
- Azure: ADLS, Data Factory, Synapse, Event Hubs.
- Managed services reduce maintenance.
- Manage cost: partition, cluster, avoid SELECT *.
💡 Real-life example: Cloud platforms are rented factories with every machine ready; you pay for hours used.
