I had a great experience with the Data Engineering with AWS program. The course covers real-world concepts like data lakes, ETL pipelines, Spark, and Airflow in a very practical way. The projects, especially the Redshift and Glue-based implementations, helped me understand how things work in actual industry scenarios. It’s a solid program for anyone looking to build strong data engineering skills on AWS.

Great introductory course for understanding data engineering concepts on AWS. Covers core services like S3, Glue, and Redshift with practical examples. It would be even better with more real-world use cases and hands-on labs for advanced scenarios.
