The Spark: My Initial Interest in Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer Certification
In recent weeks, I’ve been pondering over the decision to earn the Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer certification. Curiously, I found limited narratives on why many choose this path. So, I embarked on a journey of introspection to document my motivations. In case anyone wants more detailed about the certification, here is a link.
Google’s Undisputed Dominance in Data
Upon joining Meta, an intriguing revelation caught my attention. Meta, I learned, is recognized as the second largest data company in the world, with Google holding the prime position. Beyond my enthusiasm for being part of Meta, this realization made me even more curious about Google’s stature in the data realm.
Having observed the prowess with which Meta handles its extensive data, my intrigue about Google – the leader in this space – naturally intensified. It made me wonder more about what Google is like as “the largest data company”.
The Big Three: AWS, Azure, and GCP
My professional journey allowed me to dabble with the three big cloud platforms. Consulting days acquainted me with AWS, GitHub transitioned from AWS to Azure, while Spotify and now Etsy, both lean on GCP.
While I haven’t been in touch with AWS or Azure developments lately, GCP’s relentless advancement is something I’ve keenly observed. My exploration of Dataplex and other GCP resources reaffirmed my inclination towards this certification. While the certification might not delve deep into Dataplex, it’s more about acquainting myself with GCP’s comprehensive offerings. Dataplex, with its promising solutions for data governance challenges, only added to my intrigue.
