What you will learn in the course
In this course guided by Kristian Bakarich, you will practically create a streaming data processing pipeline in Azure. As part of the project, you will learn to use key Azure services for processing Twitter data streams in JSON format, including:
- APIM (API Management) - for data intake,
- Blob Storage - for storage,
- Azure Functions - for processing,
- Cosmos DB - for storing processed data,
- Power BI - for data visualization.
Project Structure
- Introduction and Architecture
- Get acquainted with the overall solution architecture and key components of the pipeline.
- Data Creation and Sending
- Write a JSON file with messages, create a Python script to send JSON objects via HTTP requests to Azure API Management.
- Development and Deployment of Azure Functions
- Learn to create and deploy Azure functions in Python using Visual Studio Code, create a function project with basic logic.
- Service Integration
- Set up and integrate Event Hubs, Azure Functions, and Cosmos DB, learn to write messages from Event Hub to Cosmos DB.
- Data Visualization in Power BI
- Connect Power BI Desktop to the Cosmos DB for real-time data visualization.
Required Knowledge and Prerequisites
- An Azure account
- Basic programming skills (Python)
- Basic knowledge of working with data storage
