How to build a data pipeline for machine learning model training?

Building a data pipeline for machine learning involves several key steps:

  1. Data Collection: Continuously collect high-quality, granular data from various sources. Snowplow is commonly used for this, capturing behavioral data from web, mobile, and server-side platforms.
  2. Enrichment and Validation: Clean and enrich the raw data to ensure it’s consistent and accurate, using tools like Snowplow Enrich.
  3. Storage: Load the enriched data into data warehouses or data lakes (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks) for centralized access.
  4. Transformation: Use tools like dbt to transform and structure the data into features suitable for ML training.
  5. Model Training: Feed the prepared dataset into training pipelines using ML platforms or libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or MLflow.
