Analyzing Olympic Data using Azure

Overview

This project showcases a comprehensive end-to-end data engineering workflow using Azure services. The primary objective is to extract data from an API, transform it using Apache Spark in Azure Databricks, and analyze it with Synapse Analytics. The dataset used is from the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, providing rich insights and visualizations.

Objectives

  • Data Extraction: Extract Olympic data from a API
  • Data Integration: Build a data pipeline using Azure Data Factory to load data into Azure Data Lake Storage.
  • Data Transformation: Use Apache Spark in Azure Databricks to transform the data.
  • Data Analysis: Utilize Synapse Analytics to analyze the transformed data.
  • Visualization: Generate insights and visualizations from the data.

Azure Services Utilized

Azure Data Factory

  • Orchestrates data movement and transformation.
  • Builds and manages data pipelines efficiently.

Azure Data Lake Storage

  • Stores both raw and transformed data.
  • Supports structured and unstructured data formats.

Azure Databricks

  • Provides a collaborative environment for data engineering and data science.
  • Uses Apache Spark for data processing and transformation.

Azure Synapse Analytics

  • Enables data analysis using powerful SQL queries.
  • Facilitates insights and visualizations.

Workflow Summary

Data Ingestion

  1. Source Data: Extract data from GitHub.
  2. Load Data: Use Azure Data Factory to load raw data into Azure Data Lake Storage.

Data Transformation

  1. Read Data: Access raw data from Azure Data Lake Storage using Azure Databricks.
  2. Transform Data: Process data with Apache Spark.
  3. Store Data: Save transformed data back into Azure Data Lake Storage.

Data Analysis

  1. Query Data: Use Synapse Analytics to query the transformed data.
  2. Visualize Data: Generate insights and create visualizations using tools like Power BI and Tableau.
