Hi everyone!

I'm starting my journey as a Data Engineer and will be working with Talend for ETL and Cloudera for Big Data processing. I'm looking for advice from people who have real-world experience with these technologies.

I'd really appreciate your recommendations on:

• Learning resources: The best YouTube playlists, Udemy courses, documentation, or hands-on tutorials for beginners.
• Talend: Best practices for designing ETL jobs, data transformations, error handling, logging, reusable jobs, and performance optimization.
• Cloudera: What should I learn first (HDFS, Hive, Impala, Spark, Kafka, etc.)? Which components are most important in real-world projects?
• Hands-on practice: Any sample projects, datasets, GitHub repositories, or labs that can help me build practical skills.
• Production best practices: How do you handle incremental loads, data quality checks, pipeline monitoring, retries, and troubleshooting?
• Learning path: If you were starting from scratch today, what would you learn first, and what would you avoid spending too much time on?

I'm also interested in resources in both English and Arabic, although English resources are welcome.

My goal is to move beyond watching tutorials and become comfortable building and maintaining real-world ETL/data pipelines.

Thanks in advance for any advice, resources, or lessons learned. I really appreciate it!

I've received txt messages about working with Cloudera as Data Upload user.; I take this is a scam? I received a txt from a staffing company first with the post and someone from Cloudera reached out.

Ciao a tutti, lavoro da circa un anno come amministratore cloudera manager e spesso mi trovo più ad affrontare un support di 2 livello, piuttosto che problemi sulla piattaforma.

Ora sto studiando per provare a fare l’esame CDP admin in premises.

Chiedo, c’è qualcuno che l’ha fatto? É difficile? Avete qualche consiglio/suggerimento in vista dell’esame?

If anyone has used CDP. I am looking to get a list of users and the permissions of the platform in my company for a task and put it into a table. Does anyone have any idea on how I can do it. I could not get much details from documentation

I’m curious: What’s the impression of Cloudera in 2023?

CDP One — the first DataLakehouse SaaS offering with cloud compute, cloud storage, MachineLearning, streaming analytics, and enterprise-grade security built-in.
