Databricks for Data Engineers: advanced techniques

Learn best practices for using the Databricks Platform as a data engineer.

In this training, you build on your foundational Databricks knowledge and develop a data platform using professional best practices within a realistic mock‑up scenario. You gain hands‑on experience with connecting new data sources, configuring catalogs, setting up security, and working with Git and Databricks Asset Bundles. You apply ingestion techniques such as Merge Into, Lakeflow Connect, and streaming ingestion to reliably process data. Throughout the labs, you put each concept into practice, giving you concrete experience with both batch and streaming workloads.
With declarative Lakeflow Pipelines, you transform data and combine sources into meaningful use cases. You also learn how to monitor your environment using system tables and SQL alerts to detect anomalies in production processes early. In addition, you create metric views and lightweight dashboards that clearly communicate results to end users. By the end of the training, you can deliver a full end‑to‑end data flow (from source to dashboard) including alerting and operational visibility.
