Ask HN: What problem should I solve to establish myself as a Data Engineer?

Posted by double_h on Tuesday November 07, 2017 @12:16PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have built web backends extensively. I want to move towards data engineering which (in my opinion) means solving problems that involve high data volumes and building scalable data pipelines.Can you suggest a problem that I can solve as a side project to claim that title?[for context, some stuff I built in recent past: https://medium.com/@hrshasan]

Agree, s3cmd is simple and effective. I have written bash scripts to regularly take db dump and put it on S3. Same can be done for folders.

Good question, and there are couple of reasons why people buy the import feature. (1) If you are switching from Android to iOS or vice verse, app can make the contact transfer process very simple and convenient. (2) People like you and me can find very easy ways to transfer contacts, but there are a lot of non technical people who don't know about auto backup and restore features.
