Data Interoperability with Unity Catalog

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.

Introductory

Databricks Get Started Days (Lakebase + AI Agents)

Get Started with Lakebase

This get started 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.

By the end of the course, you will understand how Lakebase enables organizations to bridge operational systems and analytics within a single governed platform powered by Unity Catalog and the Databricks Lakehouse.

Get Started with AI Agents on Databricks

This course is an introduction to AI agents, their role in modern AI applications, and how to build AI agent applications on the Databricks platform. You'll learn about the principles of AI agents, how they differ from traditional AI systems, and explore their key components. Through interactive demos and hands-on labs, you'll see how to build, deploy, and evaluate AI agents on Databricks using Databricks AI and Agent Bricks. By the end of this course, you'll understand how to create and deploy AI agents using the Databricks Data + AI Platform.

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