97 Things Every Data Engineer Should Know

I am interested in the job called data engineer. So I am going to read some books about it. I started with a compendium of essays from people in the thick of data engineering. These were detailed insights into specific situations in the world of data engineering.

I liked that the essays were done by different authors. There were not 97 different authors. Many of the essays were done by the same author. But there were a lot of different voices sharing their opinion.

The main idea I got was that a data engineer takes data from different sources and gets it into tables. Then the data will be consumed by other people such as analysts or data scientists. There are a lot of tools involved.
