Learning Objectives

The course will introduce a general overview of technologies useful to define end-to-end real time data analysis solutions.

Using automatic delivery systems (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) the course will introduce “on the edge” technologies for data ingestion, pipelines, processing, analysis and visualization.

A practical approach using a class github repository and real problems will be analyzed on all aspects enforcing different soft skills including knowledge and understanding, decision, communication and learning skills.


Course Structure

The course will be structured as a laboratory where each topic will be presented and tested.

The class will also form a community to discuss about these technologies and applications.
