The Corona Virus dashboard has been upgraded and embedded into AnalyzeCOVID.com website for better readability. So you no longer have to store/remember the long URL of Google Data Studio dashboard instead can easily remember the website address of AnalyzeCOVID.com . This site is mainly for those users who are interested to dig deeper and understand the numbers better and search for trends, patterns and anomalies.

Corana Virus Analytics with prediction

In continuation to my previous post on Analytics using Corona Virus data, I managed to come up with a chart that shows prediction for next 30 days and will be auto updated based on new trends. The predicted numbers look very bad, I wasn't sure if I should share it or not, decided to share it with a thought that it is better to share it, create awareness and prove the prediction wrong than not share it and then later find out that the prediction was right. Now in total there are 5 pages (a pdf version is attached below) in the dashboard. For the interactive dashboard continue using the same link as in the previous post.

ETL developer vs Data engineer

Image
Rephrased question : ETL developer vs Data engineer Answer : Unfortunately there are no strict industry standards on these job titles. That is just one part of it. Before ETL tools such as DataStage, Informatica, Ab Initio, etc., became popular, developers were hand coding every ETL flow. These ETL tools shortened the ETL flow development time to a great extent and allowed ETL developers to focus on business rule/logic/requirement (what to implement) than how to code it or optimize the code. There are many other benefits of using a tool but I won’t go into that in this answer. So an ETL developer with experience in these tools without any programming (coding) experience was/is able to design and develop end to end data flows. Whenever new types of source/target data format comes up, these tools catch up but it takes time, i.e., the ETL tool provider (e.g. Microsoft, IBM, etc.,) adds new components/connectors within the ETL tool to be able to work with new data format. For example, let’...
