Course Overview

We do not offer generic courses. We assign you a dedicated seat in the lab under a senior developer who reviews your commits daily. Fix your logic, ship your code, refactor your system. Say goodbye to 30-student classroom factories and standard pre-recorded video loops. We prioritize proof of skill via active GitHub contribution graphs and deployed staging environments. At CACTS, you construct and deploy actual ETL pipelines, Apache Spark streaming, and AWS data maps systems from day one, completing your technical milestones by committing code to live company repositories. Every course includes hands-on coding labs, live project internships on active staging servers, and 1-to-1 career career readiness coaching.

Hands-On Implementation Preview

Here is a concrete preview of the production-level code assets and system schemas you will design, write, and deploy during our 1-to-1 live project sessions.

PySpark ETL Job with Schema Parsing & Parquet Write

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.types import StructType, StructField, StringType, DoubleType

schema = StructType([
    StructField("user_id", StringType(), False),
    StructField("page", StringType(), True),
    StructField("latency", DoubleType(), True)
])

spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("ETLPipeline").getOrCreate()
df = spark.read.schema(schema).json("s3a://raw-logs/*.json")
df.write.partitionBy("page").parquet("s3a://data-lake/processed/")
