Description
As part of this course, you will learn all the Data Engineering using cloud platform-agnostic technology called Databricks.

About Data Engineering

Data Engineering is nothing but processing the data depending upon our downstream needs. We need to build different pipelines such as Batch Pipelines, Streaming Pipelines, etc as part of Data Engineering. All roles related to Data Processing are consolidated under Data Engineering. Conventionally, they are known as ETL Development, Data Warehouse Development, etc.

About Databricks

Databricks is the most popular cloud platform-agnostic data engineering tech stack. They are the committers of the Apache Spark project. Databricks run time provide Spark leveraging the elasticity of the cloud. With Databricks, you pay for what you use. Over a period of time, they came up with an idea of Lakehouse by providing all the features that are required for traditional BI as well as AI & ML. Here are some of the core features of Databricks.

Spark - Distributed Computing

Delta Lake - Perform CRUD Operations. It is primarily used to build capabilities such as inserting, updating, and deleting the data from files in Data Lake.

cloudFiles - Get the files in an incremental fashion in the most efficient way leveraging cloud features.

Knowledge about some of the cloud concepts such as storage, users, roles, etc.

Associated Costs

As part of the training, you will only get the material. You need to practice on your own or corporate cloud account and Databricks Account.

You need to take care of the associated AWS or Azure costs.

You need to take care of the associated Databricks costs.

Training Approach

Here are the details related to the training approach.

It is self-paced with reference material, code snippets, and videos provided as part of Udemy.

One needs to sign up for their own Databricks environment to practice all the core features of Databricks.

We would recommend completing 2 modules every week by spending 4 to 5 hours per week.

It is highly recommended to take care of all the tasks so that one can get real experience of Databricks.

Support will be provided through Udemy Q&A.
