What Is Data Engineering?

Data Engineering is the practice of designing and building systems that collect, store, and transform raw data into usable formats. Data engineers lay the foundation that allows data scientists, analysts, and BI professionals to work with clean, structured, and optimized data.

In short, data engineering is about making sure that data flows seamlessly from multiple sources (like websites, apps, or sensors) into centralized storage systems like data warehouses or lakes — and is ready for analysis.

As a data engineer, you’ll work with tools like:

SQL for querying databases
Python or Scala for data processing
Snowflake, Databricks, and Apache Spark for big data and cloud-based pipelines
ETL/ELT workflows (Extract, Transform, Load)

What Is Business Intelligence (BI)?

Business Intelligence is all about turning data into actionable insights. BI professionals use dashboards, visualizations, and reports to help businesses make smarter decisions.

Imagine showing a company how to increase sales, reduce costs, or understand customer behavior — all through data-driven visual stories.

Common tools used in BI include:

Power BI and Tableau for data visualization
SQL to explore and analyze data
DAX (for Power BI) or Calculated Fields (for Tableau) to create custom metrics
KPIs, dashboards, and data storytelling

BI professionals are often the translators between raw data and business strategy.
