Building Databricks Apps with Genie Code and Lakebase

This course walks practitioners through the full spectrum of data modelling approaches on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform - from classical data warehouse techniques (Inmon, Kimball, Data Vault 2.0), through Feature Store-driven ML use cases, to productising data via Data Products on Unity Catalog.

Each modelling approach is introduced with a lecture, then reinforced with a hands-on demo against a shared dataset (TPC-H samples). The course finishes with a comprehensive end-to-end lab that exercises ERM, dimensional modelling, Data Vault 2.0, and the Feature Store in a single integrated workflow.

Note: Databricks Academy is transitioning to a notebook-based format for classroom sessions within the Databricks environment, discontinuing the use of slide decks for lectures. You can access the lecture notebooks in the Vocareum lab environment.

This course explores how to achieve data interoperability between systems using Databricks Unity Catalog as a unified governance layer, using both Delta and Iceberg open table formats. Participants will learn to implement, manage and optimize a data environment where tables can be accessed by both Delta and Iceberg clients, enabling cross-platform analytics and eliminating data silos.

This course is designed for Data Engineers, Platform Administrators, and Analytics Engineers responsible for implementing and managing multi-format data architectures. You will gain the skills to use Unity Catalog for unified governance across Delta and Iceberg table formats and across federated external systems.

This course introduces Databricks Apps, a new feature that empowers developers to build and deploy secure data and AI applications directly on the Databricks platform. It is primarily designed for data scientists, data engineers, and developers who need to create custom applications that make data insights accessible to non-technical users within their organizations.

The course begins with an overview of the main components of Databricks Apps, followed by the deployment of a simple app that integrates with an external service. Next, you will learn how to build and deploy intelligent, data-driven applications that integrate with Databricks platform features. The course then covers how to develop apps outside the Databricks environment. It concludes with a detailed treatment of best practices for implementing secure and reliable enterprise apps.
