Open Source Big Data Workbench

This open source project is to provide a solid foundation on building a data pipeline end to end using purely open source technology with zero licensed solutions, you can use this in your own learning and incorporate into your data science workflows.

Our motivation was to empower you with creating big data workflows from beginning to end.
