DataTalks Data Engineering Zoomcamp

Skill by ara.so — Data Skills collection.

Overview

The Data Engineering Zoomcamp is a comprehensive 9-week free course covering production-ready data pipeline development. It includes hands-on modules on containerization (Docker), infrastructure as code (Terraform), workflow orchestration (Kestra), data warehousing (BigQuery), analytics engineering (dbt), data platforms (Bruin), batch processing (Spark), and streaming (Kafka).

The course operates in cohorts (next starts January 2026) but all materials are available for self-paced learning.

Prerequisites

• Basic coding experience
• SQL familiarity
• Python knowledge (helpful but not required)
• Git installed
• Docker Desktop or Docker Engine
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account (free tier)

Course Structure

Module 1: Docker & Terraform

Set up containerized PostgreSQL database:

# Create network
docker network create pg-network

# Run PostgreSQL
docker run -d \
  --name pg-database \
  --network pg-network \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=root \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=root \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=ny_taxi \
  -v $(pwd)/ny_taxi_postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  postgres:13

# Run pgAdmin
docker run -d \
  --name pgadmin \
  --network pg-network \
  -e PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=admin@admin.com \
  -e PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=root \
  -p 8080:80 \
  dpage/pgadmin4

Docker Compose for entire stack:

# docker-compose.yaml
services:
  pgdatabase:
    image: postgres:13
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=root
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=root
      - POSTGRES_DB=ny_taxi
    volumes:
      - ./ny_taxi_postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
  
  pgadmin:
    image: dpage/pgadmin4
    environment:
      - PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=admin@admin.com
      - PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=root
    ports:
      - "8080:80"

# Start services
docker-compose up -d

# Stop services
docker-compose down

Terraform GCP setup:

# main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0"
  backend "local" {}
  required_providers {
    google = {
      source  = "hashicorp/google"
    }
  }
}

provider "google" {
  project = var.project
  region  = var.region
}

# Data Lake Bucket
resource "google_storage_bucket" "data-lake-bucket" {
  name          = "${local.data_lake_bucket}_${var.project}"
  location      = var.region
  storage_class = var.storage_class
  uniform_bucket_level_access = true

  versioning {
    enabled = true
  }

  lifecycle_rule {
    action {
      type = "Delete"
    }
    condition {
      age = 30
    }
  }

  force_destroy = true
}

# BigQuery Dataset
resource "google_bigquery_dataset" "dataset" {
  dataset_id = var.BQ_DATASET
  project    = var.project
  location   = var.region
}

# variables.tf
locals {
  data_lake_bucket = "dtc_data_lake"
}

variable "project" {
  description = "Your GCP Project ID"
}

variable "region" {
  description = "Region for GCP resources"
  default     = "europe-west6"
  type        = string
}

variable "storage_class" {
  description = "Storage class type for your bucket"
  default     = "STANDARD"
}

variable "BQ_DATASET" {
  description = "BigQuery Dataset"
  type        = string
  default     = "trips_data_all"
}

# Initialize Terraform

      df.to_sql('yellow_taxi_data', engine, if_exists='replace', chunksize=10000)

Module 3: Data Warehouse (BigQuery)

Create partitioned and clustered table:

-- Create external table
CREATE OR REPLACE EXTERNAL TABLE `trips_data_all.external_yellow_tripdata`
OPTIONS (
  format = 'CSV',
  uris = ['gs://nyc-tl-data/trip data/yellow_tripdata_2019-*.csv', 
          'gs://nyc-tl-data/trip data/yellow_tripdata_2020-*.csv']
);

-- Create partitioned table
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE `trips_data_all.yellow_tripdata_partitioned`
PARTITION BY
  DATE(tpep_pickup_datetime) AS
SELECT * FROM `trips_data_all.external_yellow_tripdata`;

-- Create partitioned and clustered table
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE `trips_data_all.yellow_tripdata_partitioned_clustered`
PARTITION BY DATE(tpep_pickup_datetime)
CLUSTER BY VendorID AS
SELECT * FROM `trips_data_all.external_yellow_tripdata`;

-- Query comparison
SELECT DISTINCT(VendorID)
FROM `trips_data_all.yellow_tripdata_partitioned`
WHERE DATE(tpep_pickup_datetime) BETWEEN '2020-06-01' AND '2020-06-30';
-- This query will process less data vs non-partitioned

Load data from GCS to BigQuery:

# load_to_bq.py
from google.cloud import bigquery
import os

# Set credentials
os.environ['GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS'] = 'path/to/credentials.json'

# Initialize client
client = bigquery.Client()

# Define table
table_id = 'your-project.trips_data_all.yellow_tripdata'

# Configure load job
job_config = bigquery.LoadJobConfig(
    source_format=bigquery.SourceFormat.PARQUET,
    write_disposition=bigquery.WriteDisposition.WRITE_TRUNCATE,
)

uri = 'gs://your-bucket/yellow_tripdata_2021-01.parquet'

# Load data
load_job = client.load_table_from_uri(
    uri, table_id, job_config=job_config
)

load_job.result()  # Wait for job to complete

print(f"Loaded {load_job.output_rows} rows to {table_id}")

    message = {
        'trip_id': i,
        'vendor_id': 1,
        'pickup_datetime': datetime.now().isoformat(),
        'passenger_count': 1,
        'trip_distance': 5.2

Python Kafka consumer:

# consumer.py
from kafka import KafkaConsumer
import json

# Create consumer
consumer = KafkaConsumer(
    'rides',
    bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'],
    auto_offset_reset='earliest',
    enable_auto_commit=True,
    group_id='my-group',
    value_deserializer=lambda x: json.loads(x.decode('utf-8'))
)

# Consume messages
for message in consumer:
    print(f"Received: {message.value}")
    
    # Process message
    trip_id = message.value['trip_id']
    trip_distance = message.value['trip_distance']
    print(f"Trip {trip_id}: {trip_distance} miles")

Kafka Streams example:

# streams_processing.py
from kafka import KafkaProducer, KafkaConsumer
from kafka.admin import KafkaAdminClient, NewTopic
import json

# Create topics
admin_client = KafkaAdminClient(bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'])

topic_list = [
    NewTopic(name="rides", num_partitions=2, replication_factor=1),
    NewTopic(name="rides-pulocationid", num_partitions=2, replication_factor=1)
]

try:
    admin_client.create_topics(new_topics=topic_list, validate_only=False)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Topics might already exist: {e}")

# Stream processing (aggregation)
from collections import defaultdict

consumer = KafkaConsumer(
    'rides',
    bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'],
    value_deserializer=lambda x: json.loads(x.decode('utf-8'))
)

producer = KafkaProducer(
    bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'],
    value_serializer=lambda v: json.dumps(v).encode('utf-8')
)

# Count rides by location
location_counts = defaultdict(int)

for message in consumer:
    ride = message.value
    location = ride.get('PULocationID', 'unknown')
    location_counts[location] += 1
    
    # Send aggregated results
    result = {
        'location': location,
        'count': location_counts[location]
    }
    
    producer.send('rides-pulocationid', value=result)
    print(f"Location {location}: {location_counts[location]} rides")

Common Workflows

Setting Up Development Environment

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/DataTalksClub/data-engineering-zoomcamp.git
cd data-engineering-zoomcamp

# Set up Python environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set up GCP credentials
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="path/to/credentials.json"
export GCP_PROJECT_ID="your-project-id"

Complete Module Workflow

# 1. Start Docker infrastructure
docker-compose up -d

# 2. Run Terraform
cd 01-docker-terraform/terraform
terraform init
terraform apply

# 3. Ingest data
python ingest_data.py --params...

# 4. Run dbt models
cd 04-analytics-engineering
dbt run
dbt test

# 5. Run Spark job
spark-submit \
  --master local[*] \
  spark_processing.py

# 6. Clean up
terraform destroy
docker-compose down

Homework Submission Pattern

# Navigate to cohort folder
cd cohorts/2026/01-docker-terraform

# Complete homework in Jupyter notebook
jupyter notebook homework.ipynb

# Export answers
# Submit through course platform
