# Data Engineering

## Pipeline Architecture

### ETL vs ELT
| Pattern | When to Use | Tools |
|---------|-------------|-------|
| **ETL** | Transform before loading, data quality critical | Airflow + custom, Spark |
| **ELT** | Raw → warehouse → transform in-place | Fivetran + dbt, Airbyte + dbt |

### Orchestration

**Apache Airflow:**
```python
from airflow.decorators import dag, task
from datetime import datetime

@dag(schedule="@daily", start_date=datetime(2024, 1, 1), catchup=False)
def my_pipeline():
    @task()
    def extract() -> dict:
        return {"data": "extracted"}

    @task()
    def transform(data: dict) -> dict:
        return {"transformed": True}

    @task()
    def load(data: dict):
        # Load to warehouse
        pass

    raw = extract()
    transformed = transform(raw)
    load(transformed)

my_pipeline()
```

**Dagster (recommended for new projects):**
```python
from dagster import asset, Definitions

@asset
def raw_users():
    return extract_from_source()

@asset
def cleaned_users(raw_users):
    return clean_and_validate(raw_users)
```

## dbt Transformations

```sql
-- models/marts/dim_customers.sql
{{ config(materialized='table', schema='marts') }}

WITH source AS (
    SELECT * FROM {{ ref('stg_customers') }}
),
orders AS (
    SELECT customer_id, COUNT(*) as order_count, SUM(amount) as total_spent
    FROM {{ ref('stg_orders') }}
    GROUP BY customer_id
)
SELECT
    s.customer_id,
    s.name,
    s.email,
    COALESCE(o.order_count, 0) as lifetime_orders,
    COALESCE(o.total_spent, 0) as lifetime_value
FROM source s
LEFT JOIN orders o ON s.customer_id = o.customer_id
```

## Stream Processing

**Apache Kafka:**
```python
from confluent_kafka import Producer, Consumer

# Producer
producer = Producer({'bootstrap.servers': 'localhost:9092'})
producer.produce('events', key='user_123', value=json.dumps(event))
producer.flush()

# Consumer
consumer = Consumer({
    'bootstrap.servers': 'localhost:9092',
    'group.id': 'my-group',
    'auto.offset.reset': 'earliest'
})
consumer.subscribe(['events'])
```

## Data Warehouse Schema Design

### Star Schema
- **Fact tables:** Measurable events (orders, clicks, transactions)
- **Dimension tables:** Descriptive context (customers, products, dates)
- **Slowly Changing Dimensions:** Type 1 (overwrite), Type 2 (versioned rows), Type 3 (previous column)

### Data Quality
- **Great Expectations:** Schema validation, statistical tests, custom expectations
- **dbt tests:** `not_null`, `unique`, `accepted_values`, `relationships`, custom SQL tests
- **Data contracts:** Schema evolution policies, backward compatibility requirements

## Key Patterns
- **Idempotent pipelines:** Same input always produces same output, safe to rerun
- **Incremental models:** Process only new/changed data, use `updated_at` watermarks
- **Dead letter queues:** Route failed records for inspection without blocking pipeline
- **Backfill strategy:** Time-partitioned tables enable targeted historical reprocessing

let-fate-decide

Included

Draws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
