Data Engineering with Databricks

Holly Smith
So you’ve heard of Databricks, but after setting up a notebook and writing some code you’re still not sure what the fuss is all about. Yes you’ve heard it’s Spark, but then there’s this Delta thing that’s both a data lake and a data warehouse (isn’t that what Iceberg is?). And then Unity Catalog, which does more than just catalog data, it does access management but even surprising things like optimise your data and programmatic access to lineage and billing? But then serverless came out and now you don’t even have to learn Spark? And of course there’s a bunch of AI stuff to use or create yourself. So why not spend a single day learning the details of what Databricks does, and how it could make you look like a rockstar Data Engineer.
