Data Warehouse and Analytics Project

Welcome to the Data Warehouse and Analytics Project repository! 🚀 This project demonstrates a comprehensive data warehousing and analytics solution, from building a data warehouse to generating actionable insights. Designed as a portfolio project, it highlights industry best practices in data engineering and analytics.

🏗️ Data Architecture The data architecture for this project follows Medallion Architecture Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers: Data Architecture

Bronze Layer: Stores raw data as-is from the source systems. Data is ingested from CSV Files into SQL Server Database. Silver Layer: This layer includes data cleansing, standardization, and normalization processes to prepare data for analysis. Gold Layer: Houses business-ready data modeled into a star schema required for reporting and analytics. 📖 Project Overview This project involves:

Data Architecture: Designing a Modern Data Warehouse Using Medallion Architecture Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers. ETL Pipelines: Extracting, transforming, and loading data from source systems into the warehouse. Data Modeling: Developing fact and dimension tables optimized for analytical queries. Analytics & Reporting: Creating SQL-based reports and dashboards for actionable insights. 🎯 This repository is an excellent resource for professionals and students looking to showcase expertise in:

Datasets: Access to the project dataset (csv files). SQL Server Express: Lightweight server for hosting your SQL database. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS): GUI for managing and interacting with databases. Git Repository: Set up a GitHub account and repository to manage, version, and collaborate on your code efficiently. DrawIO: Design data architecture, models, flows, and diagrams. Notion: Get the Project Template from Notion Notion Project Steps: Access to All Project Phases and Tasks. 🚀 Project Requirements Building the Data Warehouse (Data Engineering) Objective Develop a modern data warehouse using SQL Server to consolidate sales data, enabling analytical reporting and informed decision-making.

Specifications Data Sources: Import data from two source systems (ERP and CRM) provided as CSV files. Data Quality: Cleanse and resolve data quality issues prior to analysis. Integration: Combine both sources into a single, user-friendly data model designed for analytical queries. Scope: Focus on the latest dataset only; historization of data is not required. Documentation: Provide clear documentation of the data model to support both business stakeholders and analytics teams. BI: Analytics & Reporting (Data Analysis) Objective Develop SQL-based analytics to deliver detailed insights into:

Customer Behavior Product Performance Sales Trends These insights empower stakeholders with key business metrics, enabling strategic decision-making.
