🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

# Required software
- Python 3.8+
- Docker & Docker Compose
- PostgreSQL/MySQL/Snowflake account
- Apache Airflow (optional for orchestration)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/Ritik574-coder/data-warehouse-project.git
   cd data-warehouse-project

2. Set up virtual environment

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure environment variables

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your database credentials and configurations

5. Initialize the database

   python scripts/init_db.py

6. Run the ETL pipeline

   python src/etl/run_pipeline.py

🔄 Data Pipeline

Pipeline Stages

# Example ETL workflow
1. Extract → Pull data from source systems
2. Transform → Clean, validate, and structure data
3. Load → Insert data into warehouse tables
4. Validate → Run data quality checks
5. Aggregate → Create summary tables and views

Sample Pipeline Configuration

pipeline:
  name: "daily_sales_etl"
  schedule: "0 2 * * *"  # Run at 2 AM daily
  
  stages:
    - extract:
        source: "sales_db"
        tables: ["orders", "customers", "products"]
    
    - transform:
        operations:
          - deduplicate
          - validate_schema
          - apply_business_rules
    
    - load:
        target: "warehouse"
        mode: "incremental"
        
    - post_processing:
        - refresh_materialized_views
        - update_statistics

💻 Usage

Querying the Warehouse

-- Example: Get monthly sales by product category
SELECT 
    d.date_year,
    d.date_month,
    p.category,
    SUM(f.sales_amount) as total_sales,
    COUNT(DISTINCT f.order_id) as order_count
FROM fact_sales f
JOIN dim_date d ON f.date_key = d.date_key
JOIN dim_product p ON f.product_key = p.product_key
WHERE d.date_year = 2024
GROUP BY d.date_year, d.date_month, p.category
ORDER BY d.date_year, d.date_month, total_sales DESC;

Running ETL Jobs

# Run full load
python src/etl/run_pipeline.py --mode full

# Run incremental load
python src/etl/run_pipeline.py --mode incremental --date 2024-01-01

# Run specific table
python src/etl/run_pipeline.py --table sales --mode incremental
