Building Agentic Applications on Databricks

This course teaches students how to build production-grade agentic applications on Databricks. Students learn to create governed agent tools using Unity Catalog and MCP, build single and multi-agent systems with the OpenAI Agents SDK, and leverage Agent Bricks and Genie for knowledge-assistant use cases orchestrated with a supervisor agent. The course covers the full progression from tool prototyping to production deployment, with hands-on experience using MLflow tracing to observe agent execution.

Get Started with Lakebase - Mandarin Chinese

这门入门课程介绍 Databricks Lakebase,这是一项内置于 Databricks Data Intelligence Platform 的完全托管的 PostgreSQL 服务,它让运营型(OLTP)和分析型(OLAP)工作负载更加紧密地结合在一起。

课程以一节概念讲座开始,对比 OLTP 和 OLAP 系统,讲解它们不同的性能特征、存储模型和典型用例。你还将探讨组织在维护相互独立的事务型数据库和分析平台时所面临的挑战,包括数据移动、延迟和架构复杂性。

随后你将学习 Databricks Lakebase 如何通过提供一个与 Databricks Lakehouse 直接集成、PostgreSQL 兼容的运营型数据库来应对这些挑战,使运营型应用和分析能够在一个统一平台内协同工作。

通过动手实验,你将:

使用 autoscaling compute 创建并探索一个 Lakebase 项目

• 浏览 Lakebase UI,包括 branching、监控和配置设置

• 使用 Lakebase SQL Editor 创建并查询表

• 使用 Lakehouse Federation 和外部目录从 Databricks 查询 Lakebase 数据

• 通过将 Delta 表同步到 Lakebase 来执行 Reverse ETL

• 从 Python 连接到 Lakebase 并执行基本的 CRUD 操作

这是一门入门(Get Started)课程,因此重点在于理解使用 Lakebase 的核心概念和基本工作流。在 Lakebase 之上构建完整的生产应用不在本课程的范围之内。

注意:对于 SCORM 课程文件,请在完成内容后关闭 SCORM 窗口。请勿点击“下一课”按钮,否则可能导致 SCORM 模块无法被标记为已完成。
