Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering

By scheduling tasks with Databricks Jobs, applications can be run automatically to keep tables in the Lakehouse fresh. Using Databricks SQL to schedule updates to queries and dashboards allows quick insights using the newest data. In this course, students will be introduced to task orchestration using the Databricks Workflow Jobs UI. Optionally, they will configure and schedule dashboards and alerts to reflect updates to production data pipelines.

In this course, you’ll learn how to orchestrate data pipelines with Databricks Workflow Jobs and schedule dashboard updates to keep analytics up-to-date. We’ll cover topics like getting started with Databricks Workflows, how to use Databricks SQL for on-demand queries, and how to configure and schedule dashboards and alerts to reflect updates to production data pipelines.

This course will guide participants through a comprehensive exploration of machine learning model operations, focusing on MLOps and model lifecycle management. The initial segment covers essential MLOps components and best practices, providing participants with a strong foundation for effectively operationalizing machine learning models. In the latter part of the course, we will delve into the basics of the model lifecycle, demonstrating how to navigate it seamlessly using the Model Registry in conjunction with the Unity Catalog for efficient model management. By the course's conclusion, participants will have gained practical insights and a well-rounded understanding of MLOps principles, equipped with the skills needed to navigate the intricate landscape of machine learning model operations.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Spark Structured Streaming and Delta Lake, including computation models, configuration for streaming read, and maintaining data quality in a streaming environment.
