No Code ETL with Lakeflow Designer

No-Code ETL with Lakeflow Designer shows how to build a complete medallion ETL workflow, from bronze to silver to gold, visually and without writing pipeline code. You will use Databricks Lakeflow Designer and its built-in AI authoring assistant, Genie Code.


In Lakeflow Designer, you build workflows on a visual canvas using operators. Operators are the building blocks of a data pipeline, with each operator performing an action such as adding a source, filtering or transforming data, aggregating data, joining datasets, or creating an output table.


Throughout the course, you will build workflows in two ways:

• Add and configure operators using the point-and-click interface.

• Describe transformations in natural language and use Genie Code to generate operators and workflows.


Using a realistic meeting and session dataset that includes sessions, participants, and feedback, the course introduces the medallion architecture in Unity Catalog and shows how to add bronze sources to the canvas, clean and reshape data into silver tables, and aggregate and join data into analytics-ready gold tables.


You will also learn how to schedule the workflow and deliver insights to business users through an AI/BI dashboard, a Genie Agent (Space), and Genie One. An optional bonus topic extends the workflow with the AI Function operator to derive sentiment from free-form feedback.


By the end of the course, you will understand how raw data moves through a governed and scheduled medallion architecture to produce analytics-ready gold tables and consumer-ready insights using a visual, AI-assisted experience on the Databricks Lakehouse.

Catalog Management and Data Organization

In this course, you will learn how to design, implement, and govern catalog structures and large-scale data organization with Unity Catalog on the Databricks Data and AI Platform. Divided into five modules, it begins by placing Unity Catalog within the cloud deployment model, covering the account console, regional metastores, and the administrator roles that enable it. You will then translate organizational topology (business units, regions, and dev/QA/prod environments) into a scalable catalog and schema design with naming conventions, ownership, and MANAGE delegation. Next, the course covers secure storage integration with storage credentials, external locations, the managed-storage hierarchy, managed versus external tables, volumes, and Lakehouse Federation. You will then apply access patterns and isolation strategies, including workspace-catalog binding, privilege inheritance, row filters, column masks, and attribute-based access control (ABAC) policies, and validate the outcomes with audit signals. Finally, the course closes with best practices for designing, governing, and operating a Unity Catalog estate. The hands-on demos and labs run on serverless compute and include short Genie Code steps.
