A music streaming startup, Sparkify, has grown their user base and song database and want to move their processes and data onto the cloud. Their data resides in S3, in a directory of JSON logs on user activity on the app, as well as a directory with JSON metadata on the songs in their app.
As their data engineer, you are tasked with building an ETL pipeline that extracts their data from S3, stages them in Redshift, and transforms data into a set of dimensional tables for their analytics team to continue finding insights into what songs their users are listening to. You will be able to test your database and ETL pipeline by running queries given to you by the analytics team from Sparkify and compare your results with their expected results.
- staging_events: It stages the data to your own S3 bucket from s3://udacity-dend/log_data which is in JSON format. It is dataset of artists.
- staging_songs: It stages the data to your own S3 bucket from s3://udacity-dend/song_data which is in JSON format. It is a song data set.
- songplay: Records in log data associated with song plays
- sparkify_user: Users in the app
- song_info: Information about Songs in music database
- artist_details: Informatin about artists in music database
- start_time: Timestamps of records in songplays broken down into specific units
python create_tables.py
python etl.py
- create_tables.py: Clean previous schema and creates tables.
- sql_queries.py: All queries used in the ETL pipeline.
- etl.py: Extracts their data from S3, stages them in Redshift, and transforms data into a set of dimensional tables.
Each file is in JSON format and contains metadata about a song and the artist of that song. The files are partitioned by the first three letters of each song's track ID. For example, here are filepaths to two files in this dataset.
song_data/A/B/C/TRABCEI128F424C983.json song_data/A/A/B/TRAABJL12903CDCF1A.json
And below is an example of what a single song file, TRAABJL12903CDCF1A.json, looks like.
{
"num_songs": 1,
"artist_id": "ARJIE2Y1187B994AB7",
"artist_latitude": null,
"artist_longitude": null,

"song_id": "SOUPIRU12A6D4FA1E1",
"title": "Der Kleine Dompfaff",
"duration": 152.92036,

}
The log files in the dataset you'll be working with are partitioned by year and month. For example, here are filepaths to two files in this dataset.
log_data/2018/11/2018-11-12-events.json log_data/2018/11/2018-11-13-events.json
And below is an example of what the data in a log file, 2018-11-12-events.json, looks like.
