Data Ingestion with Python Cookbook

By: Gláucia Esppenchutz

Overview of this book

Data Ingestion with Python Cookbook offers a practical approach to designing and implementing data ingestion pipelines. It presents real-world examples with the most widely recognized open source tools on the market to answer commonly asked questions and overcome challenges. You’ll be introduced to designing and working with or without data schemas, as well as creating monitored pipelines with Airflow and data observability principles, all while following industry best practices. The book also addresses challenges associated with reading different data sources and data formats. As you progress through the book, you’ll gain a broader understanding of error logging best practices, troubleshooting techniques, data orchestration, monitoring, and storing logs for further consultation. By the end of the book, you’ll have a fully automated set that enables you to start ingesting and monitoring your data pipeline effortlessly, facilitating seamless integration with subsequent stages of the ETL process.

Designing advanced monitoring

After spending some time learning and practicing logging concepts, we can advance a little more in the subject of monitoring. We can monitor results from all our logging collection work and generate insightful monitoring dashboards and alerts, with the right monitoring message stored.

In this recipe, we will cover the Airflow metrics integrated with StatsD, a platform that collects system statistics, and their purpose to help us achieve a mature pipeline.

Getting ready

This exercise will focus on bringing clarity to the Airflow monitoring metrics and how to build a robust architecture to structure it.

As a requirement for this recipe, it is vital to keep in mind the following basic Airflow architecture:

Airflow components, from a high-level perspective, are composed of the following:

  • A web server, where we can access the Airflow UI.
  • A...
