Delta Lake, Lakeflow, Unity Catalog, streaming, FinOps — build, operate, and defend a production Databricks lakehouse.
What you'll learn
Build a complete production lakehouse — ingestion, medallion layers, streaming, and governed analytics — on one enterprise retail scenario (SNOWMART).
Master Delta Lake internals: the transaction log, time travel, deletion vectors, UniForm/Iceberg interop, and liquid clustering.
Design and operate ingestion with Lakeflow Connect, Auto Loader, and Structured Streaming with exactly-once guarantees.
Implement all four SCD strategies (Type 1, Type 2 with MERGE, at-scale, and architect-level strategy selection) on real Delta tables.
Govern data with Unity Catalog: namespaces, grants, lineage, ABAC, row filters, and column masks.
Ship analytics with Databricks SQL, AI/BI dashboards, and Genie natural-language querying.
Operate the platform with system-table observability, lakehouse monitoring, and FinOps cost forensics.
Deploy with production discipline: Jobs and Workflows, Asset Bundles, Terraform, and the data engineering testing pyramid.
Extend the platform into AI: vector search, model serving, a RAG pipeline, and MLflow in production.
Defend architecture decisions with reusable decision matrices, anti-pattern awareness, and interview-grade reasoning.
Navigate Azure Databricks deployment architecture: workspaces, Entra ID, networking, and landing zones.
Diagnose and fix real performance problems: skew, shuffle pain, query profiles, Photon, and Adaptive Query Execution.
Requirements
Comfortable with SQL — joins, aggregations, and basic window functions.
Basic Python, ideally with some exposure to Spark or PySpark; deep expertise is not required.
A free Databricks Community/trial workspace or access to a company workspace (setup guide included).
No prior Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, or streaming experience needed — this course builds that from first principles.
A willingness to type the code and break things — every module is hands-on against a real workspace.
