⚡ Bolt: Pandas iterrows() optimization in ETL pipeline - #13
Conversation
Optimizes the database loading step in the public data ETL pipeline by bypassing Pandas DataFrame creation and iterating directly over the raw list of dictionaries. This avoids the significant overhead of Pandas iterrows(). Co-authored-by: Vagarh <111590756+Vagarh@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What:
Replaced
pd.DataFrame(data)anddf.iterrows()with a direct list comprehension iteration over thedatalist of dictionaries inload_dataofe2e_open_data_pipeline/dags/public_data_etl.py.🎯 Why:
Pandas
iterrows()is a known performance bottleneck. It converts every single row into a Pandas Series object which adds massive overhead in terms of execution time and memory usage. Since we only need to extract values to create a tuple for insertion viaexecute_values, directly accessing the python dictionaries avoids all this overhead.📊 Impact:
Significantly reduces execution time for the
load_datatask by avoiding the slow Series creation. It also uses less memory since the intermediate DataFrame representation is skipped entirely.🔬 Measurement:
We can verify the improvement by looking at the execution time of the
load_datatask in Airflow UI before and after this change. It should be tangibly faster.PR created automatically by Jules for task 17656273586896663308 started by @Vagarh
