Streamline Data Pipelines: How to Use WhyLogs with PySpark for Effective Data Profiling and ValidationPhoto by Evan Dennis on UnsplashData pipelines, made by data engineers or machine learning engineers, do more than just prepare data for reports or training models. It’s crucial to not only process the data but also ensure its quality. If the data changes over time, you might end up with results you didn’t expect, which is not good.To avoid this, we often use data profiling and data validation techniques. Data profiling…

Leverage some simple equations to generate related columns in test tables.Image generated with DALL-E 3I’ve recently been playing around with Databricks Labs Data Generator to create completely synthetic datasets from scratch. As part of this, I’ve looked at building sales data around different stores, employees, and customers. As such, I wanted to create relationships between the columns I was artificially populating — such as mapping employees and customers to a certain store.Through using PySpark UDFs and a bit of…

Win ratio for back-to-back games, mean and standard deviation of game scores, and more with Python codePhoto by Emanuel Ekström on UnsplashJust over a week ago I was watching an NBA game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics. This was a match-up between the top 2 teams in the league, which many considered to be a prequel to the Eastern Conference finals. Being a big basketball and NBA fan myself, the game turned out rather disappointing as the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Boston Celtics 140–99, a rare blow-out…

Concepts, theory, and functionalities of this modern data storage frameworkPhoto by Nick Fewings on UnsplashI think it’s now perfectly clear to everybody the value data can have. To use a hyped example, models like ChatGPT could only be built on a huge mountain of data, produced and collected over years.I would like to emphasize the word “can” because there is a phrase in the world of programming that still holds, and probably ever will: garbage in, garbage out. Data by itself has no value, it needs to be organized,…

Photo by Jez Timms on UnsplashI am a big fan of unit-testing.Reading two books — The Pragmatic Programmer and Refactoring — completely changed the way I viewed unit-testing.“Testing is not about finding bugs.We believe that the major benefits of testing happen when you think about and write the tests, not when you run them.”— The Pragmatic Programmer, David Thomas and Andrew HuntInstead of seeing testing as a chore to complete after I have finished my data pipelines, I see it as a powerful tool to improve the design of my…
