Data Ingestion using Auto Loader

In this video, you will learn how to ingest your data using Auto Loader. Ingestion with Auto Loader allows you to incrementally process new files as they land in cloud object storage while being extremely cost-effective at the same time. It can ingest JSON, CSV, PARQUET, and other file formats.

 

Note - at Data + AI Summit in June 2025, Databricks released Lakeflow. Lakeflow unifies Data Engineering with Lakeflow Connect, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines (previously known as DLT), and Lakeflow Jobs (previously known as Workflows).
