This workshop will delve into the powerful combination of Apache Spark and PostgreSQL for efficient Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) operations. You'll learn how to leverage Pyspark's computing capabilities to process large datasets and integrate them seamlessly with PostgreSQL databases.We have 4hr -16hr workshops.
Workshop Objectives
Understand the basics of Apache Spark and its architecture.
Learn how to use Pyspark for data manipulation and transformations.
Explore techniques for reading and writing data from/to PostgreSQL databases.
Implement ETL pipelines using Pyspark and PostgreSQL.
Optimize ETL performance and handle large datasets efficiently.
