Samenvatting:

Today, investment in financial technology and digital transformation is reshaping the financial landscape and generating many opportunities. Too often, however, engineers and professionals in financial institutions lack a practical and comprehensive understanding of the concepts, problems, techniques, and technologies necessary to build a modern, reliable, and scalable financial data infrastructure. This is where financial data engineering is needed.

A data engineer developing a data infrastructure for a financial product possesses not only technical data engineering skills but also a solid understanding of financial domain-specific challenges, methodologies, data ecosystems, providers, formats, technological constraints, identifiers, entities, standards, regulatory requirements, and governance.

This book offers a comprehensive, practical, domain-driven approach to financial data engineering, featuring real-world use cases, industry practices, and hands-on projects.

You'll learn:

The data engineering landscape in the financial sector

Specific problems encountered in financial data engineering

The structure, players, and particularities of the financial data domain

Approaches to designing financial data identification and entity systems

Financial data governance frameworks, concepts, and best practices

The financial data engineering lifecycle from ingestion to production

The varieties and main characteristics of financial data workflows

How to build financial data pipelines using open source tools and APIs
