The Data Engineering Cookbook is a free, open-source book by Andreas Kretz covering the skills, tools, and best practices needed to become a data engineer. It includes sections on basic and advanced engineering skills, hands-on tutorials, case studies, cloud platform best practices, portfolio project data sources, and interview questions.

Use cases

  • learn how to become a data engineer
  • prepare for data engineering interviews
  • find data sources for portfolio projects
  • understand data platform architecture and ETL pipelines
  • review data engineering best practices for cloud platforms
  • find recommended books, courses, and podcasts for data engineering

When to choose

  • you are transitioning into data engineering from software development or another field
  • you want a free, curated roadmap of data engineering skills and tools
  • you need interview questions and case studies for job preparation
  • you are looking for ideas and data sources for portfolio projects

When to avoid

  • you need a runnable software tool or library rather than learning material
  • you want a structured, certified course with hands-on labs (the companion Academy is paid)
  • you need deep, up-to-date documentation for a specific tool like Spark or Kafka
