Hey Data Engineers! 👋 How are you all doing? Hope you're having a great time working with data! Let me share a quick story. A while ago, my team had a problem—our data pipeline was taking 4+ hours to run. We tried different things, but nothing worked. Then, we sat together, shared ideas, and found a simple solution—better partitioning and Z-Ordering. Guess what? We reduced the time to just 45 minutes!  This showed me that data engineering is not a solo job. We grow when we collaborate, share knowledge, and solve problems together. With new trends like Lakehouse, Data Mesh, AI-powered automation, and real-time streaming, teamwork is more important than ever! Let’s keep learning and building together! When did teamwork help you solve a big data problem? Share your story below! Regards, Brahma ... View more

Hello Austin Databricks Community, Hope this article finds you well. Ever spent hours tweaking partitions, only to find out your queries are still slow? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But guess what? Liquid Clustering in Delta Lake 3.0 makes all that manual partition tuning a thing of the past! Instead of manually deciding how to split your data, Liquid Clustering automatically organizes it based on how you use it. That means: Faster queries – Less data scanning, more speed! No manual partition tuning – No need to pick the “right” partition key. Smarter storage management – Keeps your files tidy and optimized. Works in the background – You set it up, and Databricks takes care of the rest! Whether you're running big data analytics, dashboards, or ML pipelines, Liquid Clustering makes everything run smoother. If you're using Databricks and Delta Lake, this is a must-try feature! Anyone tried Liquid Clustering yet? Drop your thoughts below! ... View more
