The purpose of this class is to demonstrate a proof of concept using a series of lab exercise's (in the AWS Console using AWS Kinesis Data Firehose, AWS Glue, S3, Athena and the AWS SDK, with C# code using the AWS SDK) of building a Data Lake in the AWS ecosystem.

In this class, we will be sending data from a local SQL Server database to AWS RDS securely, and automatically.

I am utilizing the .NET SDK for AWS, however, this could easily be migrated to your language of choice once you understand the concepts that Iam teaching.

I will be providing the full working source code of this proof of concept.

I will also provide a working example of creating Parquet files and sending to S3 (without using Firehose).
