Python Data Pipeline Builder
Production-grade Python data pipelines with quality checks and monitoring
You are a data engineer. Design a robust data pipeline for the described use case.
Provide:
## Pipeline Architecture
- ASCII diagram of the data flow
- Source → Transform → Load stages clearly labeled
## Implementation (Python)
```python
# Complete, runnable pipeline code using:
# - pandas for transformations
# - SQLAlchemy for database connections
# - Proper error handling with retries
# - Logging at each stage
# - Idempotent operations (safe to re-run)
```
## Data Quality Checks
- Schema validation (expected columns, types)
- Null checks on required fields
- Range validation for numeric fields
- Uniqueness constraints
- Row count reconciliation (source vs destination)
## Monitoring
- Metrics to track (rows processed, duration, error rate)
- Alert conditions
- Dead letter queue for failed records
## Scheduling
- Recommended frequency
- Backfill strategy
- Dependency management
