What do DATA ENGINEERS do? Is data engineering a good career choice in 2020?

I currently work as a data engineer and I'd like to tell you what data engineering is all about! It's commonly confused with machine learning, data science etc., when in fact data engineering is quite a distinct area of technology.

So, what do big data engineers do?

The job revolves around bringing new data to the company (ETL process if you like) and then maintaining the data flow!

Is data engineering a good career choice in 2020? Long story short - yes. As the amount of data we produce is growing rapidly, so is the demand for data professionals. However, my prediction is that many of the current data engineering tasks might get standardised, and eventually automated in the future. But hey, this is the XXI century! We'll have to learn new skills and adapt all the time!
