Reseña del libro "AI-Native Data Engineering (en Inglés)"
Are your data platforms truly ready for the demands of modern AI-or are they still designed around assumptions from a pre-AI era?What happens when traditional data pipelines must support foundation models, generative AI applications, real-time intelligence, vector search, massive datasets, and constantly changing workloads? How do you design infrastructure that can move beyond simply storing and processing data to actively supporting intelligent systems?AI-Native Data Engineering: Designing Intelligent Data Platforms, Pipelines, and Architectures for Foundation Models explores these questions and provides a practical guide to building data infrastructure for the rapidly evolving AI era.But where should you begin?How should data be collected, transformed, governed, stored, and delivered when AI applications depend on high-quality, fresh, contextual, and machine-ready data? How do you connect traditional data engineering practices with the requirements of foundation models and intelligent applications? And how can you build architectures that remain reliable and scalable as your data volumes, models, users, and workloads continue to grow?This book takes you through the essential concepts behind AI-native data engineering and shows how modern data platforms can be designed to support demanding AI workloads. You will explore the principles behind scalable data pipelines, modern data architectures, real-time processing, data quality, metadata, governance, and model-ready data.What about the data layer itself?How do vector databases, embeddings, retrieval systems, data lakes, lakehouses, and modern processing frameworks fit together? How can structured and unstructured data be prepared for foundation models? How do you create pipelines capable of delivering the right information to AI systems at the right time?You will learn how to think about data engineering not simply as moving data from one system to another, but as designing the infrastructure that enables intelligent applications to work effectively.The book also examines practical architectural considerations surrounding scalability, reliability, observability, security, data governance, and performance. You will gain insight into how different components can work together to create robust platforms capable of supporting machine learning, generative AI, retrieval-augmented applications, and other intelligent workloads.Are you concerned about building systems that work today but become difficult to maintain tomorrow? What happens when data requirements change, AI workloads increase, or new models and technologies emerge?This guide helps you approach those challenges with architectural thinking, practical engineering principles, and a focus on systems that can evolve.Whether you are a data engineer, AI engineer, platform engineer, cloud professional, software developer, architect, technical leader, or someone looking to understand how modern data infrastructure supports AI, this book offers a practical foundation for understanding the technologies and decisions shaping AI-ready data platforms.If you want to understand how modern data engineering is evolving for foundation models and intelligent applications, this book gives you the knowledge to start building with purpose.Are you ready to rethink your data architecture for the AI era?Get your copy of AI-Native Data Engineering today and start building data platforms, pipelines, and architectures designed for intelligent systems.
