Book DescriptionThe second edition of Azure Databricks Cookbook offers hands-on recipes for ingesting and governing data, building modern data warehouses, and creating innovative AI solutions using Azure Databricks.
Starting with creating an Azure Databricks instance, you'll explore clusters and ingest data from various sources like files, databases, and streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka and EventHub. You'll learn how to load data in the Azure Databricks Lakehouse and cover end-to-end data pipelines, utilizing Delta tables and Azure Synapse Analytics for building a modern data warehouse. As you progress, you'll also learn how to visualize insights and create dashboards with Databricks SQL and deploy and productionalize data pipelines using CI/CD for Azure Databricks notebooks. This book will also guide you through setting up Unity Catalog as well as configuring metastore, catalogs, databases, and tables. You'll get to grips with ensuring operations continuity with high availability and disaster recovery planning. Finally, you'll explore how to modernize workloads with artificial intelligence and cost-efficient administration.
By the end of this book, you'll have unlocked transformational insights from data, mastered predictive modeling techniques, and understood development operations best practices to optimize your data solutions.What you will learn
