Databricks Get Started Days (Data Engineering + Generative AI)

Get Started with Lakehouse Architecture on Databricks

In this course, you will explore the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform from the perspective of platform architecture, specifically related to the platform foundation in lakehouse architecture. You will learn about the scope, vision, and capabilities of a platform founded in lakehouse architecture, with a focus on how Databricks integrates with a cloud platform’s architecture. You’ll learn about the key features of a successful lakehouse implementation, specifically how to adhere to the well-architected lakehouse framework, which emphasizes structural excellence through specific dimensions, principles and best practices. You’ll also learn about data architecture strategy for the acceleration of data and AI endeavors.

Get Started with Databricks for Data Warehousing

This course provides a comprehensive overview of Databricks’ modern approach to data warehousing, highlighting how a data lakehouse architecture combines the strengths of traditional data warehouses with the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. You’ll learn about the AI-driven features that enhance data transformation and analysis on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Designed for data warehousing practitioners, this course provides you with the foundational information needed to begin building and managing high-performant, AI-powered data warehouses on Databricks.

This course is designed for those starting out in data warehousing and those who would like to execute data warehousing workloads on Databricks. Participants may also include data warehousing practitioners who are familiar with traditional data warehousing techniques and concepts and are looking to expand their understanding of how data warehousing workloads are executed on Databricks.

Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering

In this course, you will learn basic skills that will allow you to use the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to perform a simple data engineering workflow and support data warehousing endeavors. You will be given a tour of the workspace and be shown how to work with objects in Databricks such as catalogs, schemas, volumes, tables, compute clusters, and notebooks. You will then follow a basic data engineering workflow to perform tasks such as creating and working with tables, ingesting data into Delta Lake, transforming data through the medallion architecture, and using Databricks Workflows to orchestrate data engineering tasks. You’ll also learn how Databricks supports data warehousing needs through the use of Databricks SQL, Delta Live Tables, and Unity Catalog. With the purchase of a Databricks Labs subscription, the course also closes out with a comprehensive lab exercise to practice what you’ve learned in a live Databricks Workspace environment.

Get Started with Databricks for Machine Learning

In this course, you will develop the foundational skills needed to use the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform for executing basic machine learning workflows and supporting data science workloads. You will explore the platform from the perspective of a machine learning practitioner, covering topics such as feature engineering with Databricks Notebooks and model lifecycle tracking with MLflow. Additionally, you will learn about real-time model inference with Mosaic AI Model Serving and experience Databricks’ “glass box” approach to model development through AutoML. The course includes three instructor-led demonstrations, culminating in a comprehensive lab that reinforces the concepts covered in the demos.
