This is a general question that I am curious about and want some feedback about. For this course, I know that he connected to a third party app, Spotify, to get its data. When he was talking about third party apps, that got me thinking. is it normal for data engineers to create their own in house solution or should they just hire a third party company that already created a solution for them
It depends on the situation, the goals, and the requirements of the task.
