Overview

Artificial intelligence systems today are driven by data at unprecedented scale. As machine learning, real-time inference, and generative AI reshape industries, organizations need robust big data platforms to ingest, process, and operationalize vast and complex datasets. Big data has become the backbone of modern AI systems, making data engineering skills essential for professionals across technology, analytics, and AI roles. This book provides a practical guide to designing and building data platforms that power AI applications. It covers core big data technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, NoSQL, and cloud data platforms, then connects them to the AI lifecycle, including data ingestion, feature engineering, scalable model training, real-time inference, and MLOps. Real-world use cases across finance, healthcare, e-commerce, and autonomous systems demonstrate how these technologies work together in production environments. By the end of this book, the readers will be equipped to design end-to-end big data pipelines, support scalable AI and ML workloads, and extract insights from data at any velocity or volume. Whether you are a data engineer, ML practitioner, or architect, this book prepares you to build and operate AI-ready data systems with confidence. What you will learn ● Design scalable big data platforms for AI systems. ● Process streaming and batch data at scale. ● Apply cloud-native architectures for data and AI. ● Engineer features and train models at scale. ● Deploy models with real-time inference and MLOps. ● Govern data security, privacy, and compliance at scale.
