Practice questions

Why should data engineering pipelines include quality checks?

Quality checks catch schema drift, missing data, duplicates, invalid values, and freshness issues before bad data reaches reports, ML models, or business decisions.

When is streaming usually preferred over batch processing?

Streaming is preferred when events must be processed continuously or near real time, such as fraud signals, telemetry, alerts, and operational dashboards.
