Hugging Face Datasets
We use Hugging Face (HF) Hub as our raw data lake (Bronze layer). While unconventional for typical enterprise DW (which use S3/GCS), it's perfect for this open-source portfolio project.
Why Hugging Face?
- Free Storage: Generous limits for open datasets.
- Versioning: Git-backed versioning for datasets.
- Accessibility: Anyone can easily download the dataset to reproduce this project using the
datasetslibrary. - Parquet Support: Natively supports Parquet formats.
Implementation
Our ingestion scripts push daily partitioned Parquet files to a dedicated dataset repository on HF Hub.
