Key benefits

  • Explore Amazon QuickSight, manage data sources, and build and share dashboards
  • Learn best practices from an AWS certified big data solutions architect
  • Manage and monitor dashboards using the QuickSight API and other AWS services such as Amazon CloudTrail

Description

Amazon Quicksight is an exciting new visualization that rivals PowerBI and Tableau, bringing several exciting features to the table – but sadly, there aren’t many resources out there that can help you learn the ropes. This book seeks to remedy that with the help of an AWS-certified expert who will help you leverage its full capabilities. After learning QuickSight’s fundamental concepts and how to configure data sources, you’ll be introduced to the main analysis-building functionality of QuickSight to develop visuals and dashboards, and explore how to develop and share interactive dashboards with parameters and on-screen controls. You’ll dive into advanced filtering options with URL actions before learning how to set up alerts and scheduled reports. Next, you’ll familiarize yourself with the types of insights before getting to grips with adding ML insights such as forecasting capabilities, analyzing time series data, adding narratives, and outlier detection to your dashboards. You’ll also explore patterns to automate operations and look closer into the API actions that allow us to control settings. Finally, you’ll learn advanced topics such as embedded dashboards and multitenancy. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with QuickSight’s BI and analytics functionalities that will help you create BI apps with ML capabilities.

Actionable Insights with Amazon QuickSight is truly a workbook that takes you through the entire life cycle management of data analytics with a QuickSight lens. If you are looking for a comprehensive study of QuickSight, this text is your one-stop text.This book is NOT about how you create visualizations (although there are lots of visualizations!). It provides answers to the "WHYs" if going deep is your cup of tea; and provides prescriptions about the "WHENs".If you don't have any analytics experience, no problem. I was able to learn about data lakes and other AWS services that support analytics through many hands-on examples which I was able to immediately leverage in my work.

Pros:- Clear and concise messaging.- Builds knowledge block-by-block without rushing into concepts.- Plenty of hands-on examples and labs to supplement theoretical concepts (best way to learn is to get your hands dirty imo).- Provides holistic view of the AWS Analytics ecosystem + relevant use cases and makes it easy to understand where QuickSight falls and how it integrates with the rest of the AWS Analytics services.- Caters to AWS novices and more advanced users alike.Cons:- Black & white charts and images take from the paperback reader experience, however they are available through the publisher's website.
