At JetBrains, we strive to build the most intelligent and ergonomic tools for developers. Whatever the language or technology stack, we aim to make the developer experience as amazing as possible. Recently, we introduced Big Data Tools – a new IntelliJ IDEA plugin which integrates Spark and provides support for editing and running Zeppelin notebooks. This is why we've invited Jeff Zhang, an experienced data engineer, famous speaker, and contributor to big data related projects including Apache Zeppelin, to host a webinar. Together, we explore what data engineering is about, what purpose it has, what the buzzword “Big Data” really stands for, and importantly, some examples of developer tools that are most instrumental and productive in doing data engineering. We dive into how data engineering contributes to Machine Learning and Exploratory Data Analysis, and what place #Spark, #Hadoop, #Zeppelin, and some other open-source tools occupy in the data engineering industry.
