Description.
The Lobster Data Platform offers countless possibilities for data integration. But for comprehensive mastery, you’ll also need a solid understanding of data orchestration. Step by step, an experienced trainer will guide you through the data jungle.
By the end of this course, you’ll have refreshed and expanded your theoretical knowledge through a series of practical exercises. You’ll clearly see why integration and orchestration fit together perfectly, just like gears in a well-oiled machine.
The Data Hero Scout takes you ever deeper into the worlds of integration and orchestration. Equipped with foundational knowledge from Data Hero Starter, you’re now ready to independently design processes, manage your own system settings, and efficiently handle your data—both on the surface and deep inside the server.
