Module 1

Case Study: Design a Model for Production Data Pipelines


Using Python
Title: Building Production Data Pipelines Using Python
Introduction
Overview of the Module Topic
A data pipeline is a sequence of processes that move data from source to destination,
often through steps such as ingestion, transformation, and storage. Python provides a
powerful ecosystem of libraries to handle data automation, transformation, and
monitoring.

Relevance of the Case Study


- Automation of repetitive tasks
- Integration across systems and sources
- Monitoring and alerting in pipelines
- Reusability and modular development

Case Description
Brief on the Case Context
An e-commerce company struggles with delays in generating daily sales reports due to
manual data processing. They aim to automate this with Python for improved efficiency
and accuracy.

Main Issues Highlighted


- Data fragmentation
- Manual report generation
- Lack of scalability
- No monitoring or alerting

Analysis
Data Ingestion and Preprocessing:
Using pandas and SQLAlchemy for loading and cleaning data.

CASE STUDY 1
Simple Example:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('sales.csv')
df['total'] = df['quantity'] * df['price']
df.dropna(inplace=True)

ETL Automation using Airflow (Conceptual Example):

Define three tasks: extract, transform, load


Use Airflow DAG to schedule them in sequence

Monitoring Example:

try:
# ETL code here
print('Success')
except Exception as e:
print('Error:', e)

Findings
- Faster report generation
- Fewer data errors
- Scalability achieved
- Easier monitoring through logging

Recommendations
1. Business Strategy Recommendations:
Automate daily sales reports using Python-based scripts.

2. Technical Improvements:
Use Git for version control and Pytest for testing .

3. Future Enhancements:
Add user authentication with Flask for role-specific dashboard access.

Conclusion
Python enables flexible, scalable, and automated data pipelines. With the right tools and
practices, businesses can streamline operations and make data-driven decisions faster .

CASE STUDY 2
Implications:
- Modular and maintainable pipeline code
- Centralized and timely reporting
- Robust error handling and monitoring
