Building Persistent Memory for AI Agents with Lakebase on Databricks

This course teaches how to build AI agents that remember — both within a conversation and across sessions — using Databricks Lakebase as the persistence backend. Students learn how LangGraph’s Checkpointer system provides short-term memory (within-session conversation continuity) and how LangGraph’s Store provides long-term memory (cross-session user preferences), both backed by Lakebase Autoscaling. Students build and test these memory systems in notebooks, observe agent behavior through MLflow traces, and deploy a fully stateful agent as a Databricks App.

Get Started with SQL Analytics and BI on Databricks

This course introduces the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and the core skills a data analyst needs for day-to-day SQL analytics and BI work. You'll navigate the workspace and Unity Catalog, write SQL queries against governed Delta tables from a Serverless SQL Warehouse, use Genie Code to generate and debug SQL, work with Delta Lake (DML, version history, time travel, and restore), build and publish AI/BI Dashboards, and create Genie Spaces for conversational analytics. Each topic pairs a guided Demo notebook with a hands-on Lab.

Onboarding

AI/BI for Data Analysts - Mandarin Chinese

本课程面向数据分析师，讲授如何在 Databricks 中设计、构建、发布和运维 AI/BI Dashboards。AI/BI Dashboards 将受 Unity Catalog 治理的数据与交互式可视化、筛选器和 Genie 集成相结合，使业务用户无需编写代码即可探索答案。

本课程围绕一个端到端构建项目展开。您将从 Unity Catalog 中的源表开始，最终完成一个已发布、受监控的多页面仪表盘。在此过程中，您将了解仪表盘如何融入更广泛的 Databricks AI/BI 产品系列，以及 Genie、数据集、可视化和筛选器在工作流中的各自作用。

课程内容包括：

• AI/BI Dashboard 基础知识，以及它与 Genie 和 Databricks 平台其他部分的关系。

• 探索 Unity Catalog 中的源数据，并使用 SQL 设计可复用的仪表盘数据集。

• 创建可视化（KPI、趋势和细分），并设计简洁的多页面仪表盘布局。

• 使用 Genie Code，根据自然语言提示词起草 SQL、图表和筛选器。

• 添加筛选器，使仪表盘能够进行交互并响应查看者的问题。

• 发布和共享仪表盘并管理权限，确保适当的人员可以查看和编辑仪表盘。

• 通过定时刷新、缓存和使用情况监控，在生产环境中运行仪表盘。

Automated Deployment with Declarative Automation Bundles

This course provides a comprehensive review of DevOps principles and their application to Databricks projects. It begins with an overview of core DevOps, DataOps, continuous integration (CI), continuous deployment (CD), and testing, and explores how these principles can be applied to data engineering pipelines.

The course then focuses on continuous deployment within the CI/CD process, examining tools like the Databricks REST API, SDK, and CLI for project deployment. You will learn about Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs) and how they fit into the CI/CD process. You’ll dive into their key components, folder structure, and how they streamline deployment across various target environments in Databricks. You will also learn how to add variables, modify, validate, deploy, and execute Declarative Automation Bundles for multiple environments with different configurations using the Databricks CLI.

Finally, the course introduces Visual Studio Code as an Interactive Development Environment (IDE) for building, testing, and deploying Declarative Automation Bundles locally, optimizing your development process. The course concludes with an introduction to automating deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions to enhance the CI/CD workflow with Declarative Automation Bundles.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped to automate Databricks project deployments with Declarative Automation Bundles, improving efficiency through DevOps practices.

Note:

1. Databricks Academy is transitioning from video lectures to a more streamlined PDF format with slides and notes for all self-paced courses. Please note that demo videos will still be available in their original format. We would love to hear your thoughts on this change, so please share your feedback through the course survey at the end. Thank you for being a part of our learning community!

2. This course is the fourth in the 'Advanced Data Engineering with Databricks' series.
