What is data engineering?

Data engineering focuses on designing, building, and maintaining the infrastructure needed to collect, store, process, and make large volumes of data accessible. Data engineers create the digital pipelines that move data from various sources (like your CRM, website, mobile apps, and IoT devices) to a central repository (such as a data warehouse or data lake). This process includes:

• Data collection and ingestion: Gathering data from diverse sources, including databases, external APIs, and real-time systems.
• Data processing and transformation: Cleaning, transforming, and standardising raw data into usable formats for analysis.
• Data storage: Designing and implementing robust storage solutions like data lakes, data warehouses, or NoSQL databases.
• Data access and governance: Ensuring data is accessible to relevant teams while maintaining data quality, security, and compliance.

What is data analytics?

Data analytics is the science of analysing data to uncover patterns, trends, and correlations, and translating them into actionable insights. It's about using those insights to understand past behaviour, predict future outcomes, and inform strategic decision-making. Key types of data analytics include:

• Descriptive analytics: Identifying trends and patterns by analysing past data to answer, "What happened?".
• Predictive analytics: Using statistical models and machine learning to forecast future outcomes and answer, "What will happen?".
• Prescriptive analytics: Guiding actions by using optimisation and simulation algorithms to recommend, "What should we do?".
