Overview of this book

"Data Engineering with Azure Databricks" is your essential guide to building scalable, secure, and high-performing data pipelines using the powerful Databricks platform on Azure. Designed for data engineers, architects, and developers, this book demystifies the complexities of Spark-based workloads, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and real-time data processing. Beginning with the foundational role of Azure Databricks in modern data engineering, you’ll explore how to set up robust environments, manage data ingestion with Auto Loader, optimize Spark performance, and orchestrate complex workflows using tools like Azure Data Factory and Airflow. The book offers deep dives into structured streaming, Delta Live Tables, and Delta Lake’s ACID features for data reliability and schema evolution. You’ll also learn how to manage security, compliance, and access controls using Unity Catalog, and gain insights into managing CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and Terraform. With a special focus on machine learning and generative AI, the final chapters guide you in automating model workflows, leveraging MLflow, and fine-tuning large language models on Databricks. Whether you're building a modern data lakehouse or operationalizing analytics at scale, this book provides the tools and insights you need.

The Role of Azure Databricks in Modern Data Engineering

In recent years, data engineering has become the fundamental pillar of analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Every company in the world, from small startups to large enterprises, is collecting vast amounts of data and leveraging it as their key competitive advantage to win customers and stay ahead of competitors.

Modern data engineering is a complex process that is constantly evolving, with new products hitting the market monthly. However, fundamentally, data engineering remains the same – it makes data useful and accessible for consumers by building secure and scalable data infrastructure. There are several established patterns of data engineering system design built on top of public cloud infrastructure and, in rare cases, on-premise solutions.

When we design data engineering systems, we think about key areas:

  • Source systems and how we want to extract data from them
  • Data volume and data types
  • Where we want to store...
