What is Data Engineering?

Data Engineering is the process of designing, building, and


maintaining systems for collecting, storing, and analyzing data.

It enables companies to make data accessible and usable for


analytics and decision-making.

Data Engineers work behind the scenes to ensure data flows


smoothly from source to storage and analysis tools.
