Business Impact Accelerator

This course introduces Databricks Lakebase, a fully managed PostgreSQL service built into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform that brings operational (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads closer together.

The course begins with a conceptual lecture that compares OLTP and OLAP systems, explaining their different performance characteristics, storage models, and typical use cases. You will also explore the challenges organizations face when maintaining separate transactional databases and analytical platforms, including data movement, latency, and architectural complexity.

You will then learn how Databricks Lakebase helps address these challenges by providing a PostgreSQL-compatible operational database that integrates directly with the Databricks Lakehouse, enabling operational applications and analytics to work together within a unified platform.

This is a Get Started course, so the focus is on understanding the core concepts and basic workflows for working with Lakebase. Building full production applications on top of Lakebase is outside the scope of this course.

You can create a Databricks Free Edition account and try the follow-along demos in a hands-on environment.

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.

This course teaches data analysts how to design, build, publish, and operate AI/BI Dashboards in Databricks. AI/BI Dashboards combine governed Unity Catalog data with interactive visualizations, filters, and Genie integration so business users can explore answers without writing code.

The course follows a single end-to-end build. You start with source tables in Unity Catalog and finish with a published, monitored multi-page dashboard. Along the way you learn how dashboards fit into the broader Databricks AI/BI product family and where Genie, datasets, visualizations, and filters each fit in the workflow.

The content covers:

• AI/BI Dashboard fundamentals and how they relate to Genie and the rest of the Databricks platform.

• Exploring source data in Unity Catalog and designing reusable dashboard datasets with SQL.

• Authoring visualizations (KPIs, trends, breakdowns) and laying out a clean multi-page dashboard.

• Using Genie Code to draft SQL, charts, and filters from natural language prompts.

• Adding filters to make dashboards interactive and responsive to viewer questions.

• Publishing, sharing, and managing permissions so the right people can view and edit the dashboard.

• Running the dashboard in production with scheduled refresh, caching, and usage monitoring.
