This type of tool refers to a group of data integration technologies. Low-code development platforms have largely replaced today&#8217;s traditional ETL tools. However, the ETL procedure remains crucial for data engineering in general.   <\/p>\n<p>Some of the best-known tools for this are Informatica and SAP Data Services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programming languages used in Data Engineering<br \/><\/strong>Data engineering uses various back-end, query, and specialized languages for statistical calculations. <a href=\"https:\/\/juvo.be\/programmeertalen-data-engineering\/\">Popular programming languages for data engineering<\/a> include Java, C#, R, Ruby, SQL, and Python. A common combination is R, Python, and SQL. <\/p>\n<p>Python is a simple, general-purpose programming language with an extensive library. Its powerful and adaptable nature makes it ideal for ETL. ETL tasks are performed using a structured query language (SQL).  <\/p>\n<p>Relational databases play a significant role in data engineering, and SQL is the primary language for querying them. R is the premier programming language and software environment for statistical calculations and is highly favored by analysts and data miners. <\/p>\n<p><strong>APIs<br \/><\/strong>Application programming interfaces (APIs) are essentially a requirement for anything related to data integration, including data engineering, of course. Every software engineering project needs APIs. They transfer data between applications and serve as a connection between those applications.  <\/p>\n<p>REST APIs are extremely important for data engineering. REST or representational state transfer APIs are excellent for any web-based tool because they can communicate over HTTP. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Data Lakes and Data Warehouses<br \/><\/strong>Data warehouses and data lakes are massive, complex datasets that companies store for business intelligence. Business analysts process these datasets via computer clusters in business-driven information engineering. This computer network makes it easier to solve problems.  <\/p>\n<p>Two well-known big data frameworks are Spark and Hadoop. These frameworks are used to prepare and process large datasets. They each utilize computer clusters to perform operations on massive amounts of data, such as data mining and data analysis.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;terminology&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/juvo.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/Happy_customer.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Two business partners working in office&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|6px|6px|6px|6px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><b>Data engineering terminology<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/juvo.be\/data-lake\/\">Data Lake<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/juvo.be\/data-vault\/\">Data Vault<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/juvo.be\/en\/snowflake-2\/\">Snowflake<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data Engineering What is Data Engineering? <nav  aria-label=\"breadcrumb\"><ol class=\"breadcrumb\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BreadcrumbList\"><li class=\"breadcrumb-item active\" aria-current=\"page\" itemprop=\"itemListElement\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ListItem\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Juvo<\/span><meta itemprop=\"position\" content=\"1\"><\/li><\/ol><\/nav>Data engineering is a field that works with data to find meaning, make sense of it, and ultimately extract value from it.
