Look inside

Congratulations! You’ve just been hired as a data engineer for a mobile game development studio. The company’s modern data platform architecture includes an Amazon Athena data lake and an AWS Redshift data warehouse solution. Your task is to enable batch processing of revenue transaction data by creating an end-to-end data pipeline, connecting various data sources—including user engagement events, stage controls, and public chat messaging—to the lake house solution. Using AWS CloudFormation, you’ll provision the resources required for the data pipeline. You’ll connect a MySQL data source to the AWS S3 Data Lake and transform data in the data lake using Amazon Athena. You’ll wrap up the project by creating a dynamic analytics dashboard with AWS QuickSight. When you’re done, you’ll have built a batch-processing data pipeline, start to finish, using Amazon Athena.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
