AWS Event-Driven Data Lakehouse with PySpark ETL

Author: FocusCraftJob Helper Usecase

Status: Draft

Duration: 1 Week Deep Dive


Executive Summary

Design and implement a robust serverless data pipeline on AWS leveraging an event-driven architecture. This project focuses on ingesting large-scale data into an S3 data lake, transforming it with PySpark on AWS Glue, and loading it into an optimized relational database (RDS) for analytics. All infrastructure is provisioned through Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Key Skills

Project Execution Log

Stage 1: Data Modeling and Relational Database Design

In this stage, we transitioned from raw data concepts to a structured, optimized relational database. We designed a comprehensive logical and physical data model, translating it into SQL DDL. We then leveraged Terraform to provision a secure and scalable AWS RDS PostgreSQL instance, completing the setup by applying our defined schema. This sets the foundation for storing and querying our transformed data efficiently.
