It demonstrates how raw transactional data can be ingested, validated, transformed, and curated into analytics-ready datasets using a **Bronze → Silver → Gold** architecture. -Here's a blank template to get started: To avoid retyping too much info. Do a search and replace with your text editor for the following: `github_username`, `repo_name`, `twitter_handle`, `linkedin_username`, `email_client`, `email`, `project_title`, `project_description` +### Key Features + +- **Batch ingestion** of banking-style transaction data into an S3-backed Bronze layer +- **Bronze → Silver → Gold** lakehouse-style architecture +- **Data validation gates** (required fields, schema enforcement, duplicates, constraints) +- **Curated datasets** designed for BI and ad-hoc analytics +- Designed with **analytics engineering principles**: reliable outputs, repeatability, clear modeling

    - -## Getting Started +### Notes -This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally. -To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps. +- **Bronze** should contain raw ingested data (audit layer) +- **Silver** should contain cleaned and validated records +- **Gold** should contain curated outputs ready for analytics and BI -### Prerequisites - -This is an example of how to list things you need to use the software and how to install them. -* npm - ```sh - npm install npm@latest -g - ``` - -### Installation - -1. Get a free API Key at [https://example.com](https://example.com) -2. Clone the repo - ```sh - git clone https://github.com/github_username/repo_name.git - ``` -3. Install NPM packages - ```sh - npm install - ``` -4. Enter your API in `config.js` - ```js - const API_KEY = 'ENTER YOUR API'; - ``` +For deeper implementation details, see the code in this repo.

    +--- +## Data Quality & Validation - -## Usage +The pipeline applies checks to prevent bad data from reaching curated datasets. -Use this space to show useful examples of how a project can be used. Additional screenshots, code examples and demos work well in this space. You may also link to more resources. +**Common checks include:** +- Required fields (e.g., `transaction_id`, `account_id`, `amount`, `timestamp`) +- Schema enforcement (consistent datatypes between runs) +- Duplicate detection (e.g., `transaction_id` collisions) +- Value constraints (e.g., amounts must be non-negative) +- Timestamp parsing and validation +- Quarantine routing for invalid records (optional, stored under `errors/`) -_For more examples, please refer to the [Documentation](https://example.com)_ +These checks keep the Silver and Gold layers consistent and trustworthy for downstream analytics.
