7 - Creating your Project Structure

In practice, you’ll want to set up each pipeline stage as its own Project. For training convenience, however, you’ll be generating these in your personal sandbox folder. This exercise will generate the basic project folder structure needed to start building your pipeline.

🔨 Task Instructions

1. If you have already created a personal sandbox folder for use during tutorials, navigate to that folder. If you have not, follow the steps from the Create a Sandbox Folder page from the Introduction to Palantir Foundry tutorial to create it now.

2. In your personal sandbox folder, create a new folder (using the green ➕ New button in the top right of the screen). Give it a name based on the learning path curriculum in which that you're taking this course:

   • If you're taking the **Pipeline Builder-**focused path, Data Engineering Learning Path (Pipeline Builder), name your folder Data Engineering Tutorials - Pipeline Builder.
   • Otherwise, if you're taking the **Code Repository-**focused path, Data Engineering Learning Path (Code Repository) , name your folder Data Engineering Tutorials - Code Repository.

3. Favorite your new folder by clicking the ☆ symbol next to the file name.

4. Click into your new /Data Engineering Tutorials folder and create a new sub-folder titled Datasource Project: Flight Alerts.

5. Click into your new /Datasource Project: Flight Alerts folder and add the following sub-folders:

   • /documentation
   • /analysis
   • /scratch

We suggest adding a /data or /datasets folder, too. You’ll add this programmatically when developing your data transformation in the next tutorial.
