Overview of this book

Many IT leaders and professionals are adept at extracting data from a particular type of database and deriving value from it. However, designing and implementing an enterprise-wide holistic data platform with purpose-built data services, all seamlessly working in tandem with the least amount of manual intervention, still poses a challenge. This book will help you explore end-to-end solutions to common data, analytics, and AI/ML use cases by leveraging AWS services. The chapters systematically take you through all the building blocks of a modern data platform, including data lakes, data warehouses, data ingestion patterns, data consumption patterns, data governance, and AI/ML patterns. Using real-world use cases, each chapter highlights the features and functionalities of numerous AWS services to enable you to create a scalable, flexible, performant, and cost-effective modern data platform. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with all the necessary architectural patterns and be able to apply this knowledge to efficiently build a modern data platform for your organization using AWS services.

DevOps, short for development and operations, is an approach to software development and deployment that aims to bridge the gap between development teams, which are responsible for creating the data platform, and operations teams, which are responsible for deploying and managing the service in production environments. DevOps emphasizes collaboration, communication, and automation to streamline the software development life cycle and improve the speed, efficiency, and quality of software delivery.

DevOps aims to stabilize the priorities of two competing forces in the business. The following figure highlights this friction between the development and operations teams.
