Course Description

Ready to handle real-world data at scale? This course teaches you to transform large datasets using Spark SQL and PySpark in Databricks. Learn to shape and clean data, run aggregations with optimized joins, and apply window functions for advanced analytics. You'll also set up file-based streaming with fault-tolerant checkpoints and persist results as Delta tables. By the end, you'll be orchestrating multi-step production pipelines with Databricks Workflows and Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines.
