A DIY Guide to Building Data Pipelines with Python

Talkat BlaBlaConf 2025 · 2025-02-03..02-07· [data-engineering]
slides:none on file

Shows a concrete DIY pipeline in Python that replaces Airflow for a scraping job and cuts end-to-end runtime from 24 hours to about 30 minutes by splitting work into micro-pipelines. Uses RabbitMQ + Celery for queued tasks, simple workers that download, parse and word-count articles, and stores logs/offsets in Mongo with bronze/silver/gold staging. Demo runs tasks in parallel on the first 10 articles, with a reproducible setup in Docker Compose (worker, queue, DB).
