I’ve been wanting to do a side project for a while now, and have set up the data pipeline to collect the data of interest (it’s personal app data). I usually find some motivation to work on it, but then will find a roadblock in an area I don’t know about and then kinda give up for a while. I think I’d be much better at keeping with it if there was a community I could bounce ideas and get advice on how to set up particular parts of this project in. What I want to showcase in this is ability to essentially do an analytics project end to end from extraction, transformation, modeling, and insights/dashboard and some extra “data science” offshoots. I’ve used snowflake, dbt, tableau/looker, fivetran etc in the past but less familiar with the data eng side. Is there any communities you guys are apart of that you’d recommend where people can bounce questions like this off of? I have a bunch of data in dynamodb that I want to take, use DBT or another tool to make some views/tables with that would be used by a dashboard, but I don’t know how best to do this on my personal machine since I don’t have snowflake access on a personal side, and I’m not sure how to use dynamodb with dbt.
I'm in the discord of the Seattle data guy. I'm only occasionally active but it seems good 👍
