Google Cloud Data Engineering Hub Skill

Skill by ara.so — Data Skills collection

This skill enables AI coding agents to help developers build production-grade Google Cloud Platform (GCP) data engineering solutions using this comprehensive reference repository of 54+ working projects covering BigQuery, Dataflow, Apache Beam, Cloud Composer, Pub/Sub, Dataproc, Gemini AI, and Vertex AI.

What This Project Provides

A curated collection of complete, runnable GCP data engineering projects. Each project includes:

  • Modular Python code (not scripts)
  • ASCII architecture diagrams
  • Sample data fixtures
  • deploy.sh with GCP setup automation
  • End-to-end working examples tested against live GCP environments

Built by Vishal Bulbule (Google Developer Expert, 12x GCP Certified).

Common Deployment Patterns

Project Deployment Script

Each project includes a deploy.sh script:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

PROJECT_ID=${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}
LOCATION=${GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION:-us-central1}

# Enable required APIs
gcloud services enable bigquery.googleapis.com \
    storage.googleapis.com \
    dataflow.googleapis.com \
    --project=${PROJECT_ID}

# Create resources
bq mk --dataset ${PROJECT_ID}:analytics
gsutil mb -l ${LOCATION} gs://${PROJECT_ID}-data

echo "✓ Deployment complete"

Running a Project

cd <project-directory>

# Review and run deployment
chmod +x deploy.sh
./deploy.sh

# Run main pipeline
python main.py

# Or with arguments
python main.py --project-id=$GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT \
               --location=us-central1 \
               --input-file=data/sample.csv

Configuration Patterns

Environment Variables

# Required for all projects
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=your-project-id
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-central1

# Optional performance tuning
export BEAM_MAX_NUM_WORKERS=10
export BQ_BATCH_SIZE=1000

# Credentials (use Application Default Credentials)
gcloud auth application-default login

Config Files (config.yaml)

project_id: ${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}
location: us-central1

bigquery:
  dataset: analytics
  staging_dataset: staging
  
storage:
  bucket: ${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}-data
  temp_location: gs://${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}-data/temp

dataflow:
  runner: DataflowRunner
  num_workers: 2
  max_num_workers: 10
  machine_type: n1-standard-2
  
composer:
  environment: production-composer
  dag_folder: dags/

Loading Configuration

import os
import yaml
from string import Template

def load_config(config_path: str = 'config.yaml') -> dict:
    """Load configuration with environment variable substitution."""
    with open(config_path, 'r') as f:
        config_template = f.read()
