Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to design a modular ETL pipeline for processing email data, focusing on creating reusable components for data ingestion, normalization, and analysis.

Key Activities

  • Blueprint Creation: Outlined a structured approach to refactor EDA of email data into modular ETL components, detailing each step’s function and potential pitfalls.
  • Artifact Development: Developed SQL functions and views for email data processing, including normalization and response metrics, along with a Python bootstrap script.
  • Pandas Pipeline: Created a comprehensive email processing pipeline using pandas, handling normalization, role splitting, and reply matching.
  • Network Analysis: Designed pandas-based functions for email network analysis, including building edge tables and calculating metrics.
  • Database Setup: Explored setting up a database using Supabase or local Postgres for managing email data.

Achievements

  • Successfully outlined a modular ETL pipeline design for email data.
  • Developed SQL and Python artifacts for executing email data processing tasks.
  • Implemented a pandas-first approach for email processing and network analysis.

Pending Tasks

  • Finalize the integration of the ETL components into a cohesive pipeline.
  • Test the database setup for email data management using Supabase or local Postgres.
