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.

DevOps Practices in Databricks

The following practices form the foundation of a mature Databricks DevOps workflow:

  1. Version Control: Every artifact - SQL scripts, Python notebooks, pipeline definitions, configuration files - lives in Git.
  2. Environment Isolation: Maintaining distinct development, testing, and production environments ensures that developers can experiment without impacting production data or users.
  3. Infrastructure as Code: Ensures that Infrastructure is version-controlled alongside application code, environments can be reproduced reliably, and changes are auditable and reviewable
  4. Declarative Automation Bundles: Automation Bundles provide a native way to package and deploy Databricks resources and integrate seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines.
  5. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): CI/CD is the automation of the process, which starts from code commit to production deployment.
  6. Automated Testing: Testing validates that...
