Nice example!
When something goes wrong, and your pattern involves daily MERGE operations in your jobs, backfill jobs let you reload multiple days in a single execution without writing custom scripts or manually triggering runs. Read more:- https://www.sunnydata.a...
More and more resources are available under DABS. One of the newest additions is the alerts resource.
I just logged in to the community edition for the last time and spun up the cluster for the last time. Today is the last day, but it's still there. Haven't logged in there for a while, as the free edition offers much more, but it is a place where man...
This article provides an overview of key Databricks features and best practices that protect Gold tables from accidental deletion. It also covers the implications if both the Gold and Landing layers are deleted without active retention or backup. Cor...
Thanks for sharing this. Time Travel is applicable all tables in Databricks NOT restricted to gold.
I recently saw a business case in which an external orchestrator accounted for nearly 30% of their total Databricks job costs. That's when it hit me: we're often paying a premium for complexity we don't need. Besides FinOps, I tried to gather all the...
There is a new direct mode in Databricks Asset Bundles: the main difference is that there is no Terraform anymore, and a simple state in JSON. It offers a few significant benefits: - No requirement to download Terraform and terraform-provider-databr...

Recently, it has not only become difficult to get a quota in some regions, but even if you have one, it doesn't mean that there are available VMs. Even if you have a quota, you may need to move your bundles to a different subscription when different ...
Thanks for sharing, @Hubert-Dudek. This is a common challenge users face, and flexible node types can significantly improve compute launch reliability.
From hardcoded IDs, through lookups, to finally referencing resources. I think almost everyone, including me, wants to go through such a journey with Databricks Asset Bundles. #databricks In the article below, I am looking at how to reference a resou...
Incrementally upload data from Confluence. I remember there were a few times in my life when I spent weeks on it. Now, it is incredible how simple it is to implement it with Lakeflow Connect. Additionally, I love DABS's first approach for connectors,...
