Data modelling with Postgres for a startup Sparkify

The data includes log-files and metadata on the songs stored in multiple JSON files. The ETL pipeline was build using Python.

The Entity Relationship Diagram of

The database (DB) sparkifydb and the following tables were created:

Fact Table

songplays - records with page NextSong in log data. Note, that time in start_time is given in miliseconds. The table contains: songplay_id, start_time, length_played, user_id, level, song_id, artist_id, session_id, location, user_agent

Dimension Tables

users - users in the app. The table contains: user_id, first_name, last_name, gender, level

songs - songs in music database. The table contains: song_id, title, artist_id, year, duration

artists - artists in music database. The table contains: artist_id, name, location, latitude, longitude

time - timestamps of records in songplays broken down into specific units. Note, that time in start_time is given in miliseconds. Weekdays are encoded Monday == 0 … Sunday == 6. The table contains: start_time, hour, day, week, month, year, weekday

How to run python code

• To create DB and the tables lounch a terminal window and run

python -m create_tables

• To execute ETL run the following in the terminal

python -m etl

• To test the result run all cells in test.ipynb file after the DB and the tables were created in previouse steps.
