Which pathway is most suitable for learning as a solutions architect? Iโ€™m interested in this as well as the data analytics certificate. 

Well it would depend on what types of solutions you would be working on, but generally the associate Data Engineering learning pathway is a great place to start! ๐Ÿ™‚
