In this lab you will step into the shoes of a data analyst at a music streaming service. You’ll be given a relational PostgreSQL dataset with tables for songs, albums, artists, genres and user listening history. Your job is to write SQL queries to answer business-driven questions such as: Which songs and genres are getting the most plays? Which albums or artists have the highest user engagement? Which content is under-performing (low plays or likes)? Using those insights, you’ll propose recommendations for content strategy, playlist design and promotion.
Key deliverables:
- Write SQL queries to rank songs by plays / likes / skip rates.
- Analyze engagement by genre and by album.
- Identify songs or artists with low engagement and drill into why.
- Present your findings (via SQL output, summary tables) along with suggestions for how the streaming service should promote or retire certain content.
This lab builds your confidence in using SQL for content catalogue analytics, and gives you a portfolio piece of analyzing real-world styled data in a media/entertainment domain.

In this lab, you assume the role of a growth or marketing-analytics analyst within a platform (for example a food-delivery or app service) and use SQL to understand how customers join, engage and either stay active or churn. Working with a PostgreSQL dataset, you’ll ask and answer questions such as: When do new users sign up (seasonality, campaigns)? How many become active? Which users show early signs of churn? What behaviours distinguish loyal vs inactive users? You’ll use SQL to segment customers, track time-based cohorts, and identify actionable insights for lowering customer acquisition cost (CAC) and boosting retention.
Key deliverables:
- Use SQL to measure new customer registrations over time (30, 60, 90 days) and relate to activity/engagement.
- Segment customers by status (new, active, dormant, churned) and profile their behaviour (e.g., first purchase time, frequency).
- Detect patterns: e.g., users who signed up during a campaign vs organic, high-value vs low-value customers.
- Recommend strategies: e.g., targeted re-engagement for at-risk customers, improvements to onboarding or activation.
This lab enhances your SQL competence in customer lifecycle analytics, behaviour profiling and data-driven acquisition/retention strategies.

In this lab, you become the analytics lead for a subscription-based service (for example a music or media service) and you’re tasked with digging into the revenue and subscription data to uncover opportunities. Using a realistic PostgreSQL schema, you’ll explore questions like: What is the average revenue per user (ARPU)? What is the subscriber lifecycle (new, renewing, churned)? How does subscription tier, region or user cohort affect revenue and retention? You’ll write SQL to compute key metrics, compare across segments, and surface actionable insights for pricing, marketing and customer success.
Key deliverables:
- Design queries that compute monthly recurring revenue (MRR), ARPU, churn rate, and lifetime value for user segments.
- Compare revenue outcomes across subscription tiers, regions or time periods.
- Identify which segments are under-performing and propose changes (e.g., price adjustment, promotional offers).
- Summarize your analysis with SQL result tables and recommendations for optimizing the subscription business.
This lab strengthens your SQL skills in business-critical analytics: pricing strategy, monetization reporting and subscription lifecycle measurement.

In this lab, you take on the role of an analytics specialist responsible for monitoring and improving user engagement on a digital platform. Using a PostgreSQL-based dataset that captures user sessions, clicks, watch time, interactions, and feature usage, you will build SQL-driven engagement dashboards that reveal how users interact with the platform. You will apply advanced SQL techniques to calculate engagement metrics, segment users based on activity, identify drop-off patterns, and surface actionable insights for product and marketing teams to drive higher retention and session time.
Key Deliverables:
- Write SQL queries to track user engagement metrics such as daily active users (DAU), session frequency, average watch time, and feature adoption.
- Build engagement cohorts to compare new vs returning users over time.
- Identify user drop-off points, inactivity segments, and underused platform features.
- Provide recommendations to improve user retention, session depth, and overall engagement.

You will also design exception reports to ensure that regulatory thresholds, audit trails, and risk metrics are met.
Key Deliverables:
- Develop SQL queries to identify suspicious transactions, rule breaches, and compliance gaps.
- Segment users or accounts based on risk category and behavior triggers.
- Generate alerts and exception reports with severity levels and resolution recommendations.
- Propose strategies to reduce compliance risk and improve detection frameworks.

This capstone lab places you in a more senior role: you’re responsible for the end-to-end analytics & operations stack for a fictitious enterprise (modeled on the classic AdventureWorks corporate database scenario). Using a PostgreSQL schema you will combine data modelling, query engineering, performance tuning and analysis across departments (sales, manufacturing, supply chain, customer service). You’ll produce complex SQL solutions (e.g., CTEs, window functions, partitioning), build dashboards or aggregated tables for operations and business intelligence, and deliver recommendations to leadership on operational efficiency, revenue growth or cost reduction.
Key deliverables:
- Refine or extend the schema (add indexes, partitions) for performance.
- Write advanced SQL queries that deliver business-operational reports (e.g., order lead time, production backlog, inventory turnover, customer returns).
- Join data across domains (sales, supply chain, service) to uncover cross-functional insights.
- Summarize your findings and propose improvement actions for the business (e.g., reduce order fulfilment time, improve customer satisfaction, streamline manufacturing).
This lab deepens your SQL engineering expertise: not just querying but structuring, optimizing and producing analytics outputs for real-world enterprise operations.

In this intermediate-to-advanced capstone assignment, you’ll tackle the full analytics and engineering challenge of a multi-restaurant food-delivery ecosystem (like multiple restaurants, orders, delivery fleets, customers, menus). Using PostgreSQL you’ll load and model data, handle engineering tasks (ETL-style, schema design, index tuning), and then write complex analytics to answer business questions: Which restaurants are most profitable? Which menu items drive repeat orders? What is the delivery fleet performance? Which geographic zones need improvement? You’ll present your SQL-powered analysis and engineering decisions alongside actionable business recommendations.
Key deliverables:
- Design or refine a normalized schema for restaurants, orders, customers, deliveries, menus and items.
- Engineer queries that track metrics like order volume per restaurant, delivery time distributions, item profitability, customer repeat-rate, geo heat-maps of demand.
- Use window functions, CTEs, and performance-aware techniques to derive insight from large datasets.
- Present a summary report (SQL output + recommendation deck) addressing operational problems (e.g., under-performing restaurants, delivery bottlenecks, menu optimization).
This lab combines SQL engineering and analytics for a high-stakes business domain (food delivery) and is ideal for showcasing your ability to build and analyze complex systems end-to-end.
