Build a Serverless ETL Pipeline for a Climate-Tech Sensor Fleet

FreeVerified credential3 weeksAdvanced

Overview

What this challenge is about.

Ingest sensor data in 5-minute batches, validate schema, and output Parquet partitioned by region to earn a verifiable certificate.

The scenario

The startup (around 35 staff) is moving off a single dev-managed VM after a 14-hour pipeline outage last quarter caused a customer SLA breach.

The Brief

What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.

Replace a fragile cron pipeline with a serverless, idempotent ETL that survives single-region cloud incidents and ingests 50M rows/day reliably.

Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate

  • Compose a real serverless ETL pipeline using managed cloud primitives
  • Apply idempotency and reprocessing patterns
  • Validate and quarantine bad data at ingest
  • Write an Architecture Decision Record that survives executive review
