What is the difference between a Data Engineer and a Data Analyst?

Answer:

A Data Engineer designs the architecture necessary for data collection, processing, and storage, comprising the design of data pipelines and databases. A Data Analyst is someone who interprets the data given by Engineers for analysis, deriving meaningful insights, report writing, and supporting decisions. Where Data Engineers ensure that data is available and reliable, data analysts transform that data into actionability for the business.
