Creating PowerPoint decks from data is usually manual and repetitive:Export charts → take screenshots → format slides → repeat.Not anymore.You can now generate a complete PowerPoint directly from a Databricks table — in one notebook run. What this do...
When I saw the news that Matei Zaharia received the 2025 ACM Prize in Computing, I felt genuinely happy. It was not just another award announcement. It felt like a proud moment for the whole data engineering community. His work has helped shape the w...
@Brahmareddy, what a beautiful tribute! It’s so inspiring to hear how that meeting at the Summit stayed with you.We’re so lucky to have contributors like you who recognize the heart behind the tech. Cheers to Matei and the whole Databricks family!
Austin data community, this one looks worth attending. Databricks DevConnect Austin is happening on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Qubika Office in Austin. It is a technical meetup built for data and AI practitioners who want rea...
Great opportunity to connect with amazing and like minded minds.Would love to see more such events in India as well, specially in Lucknow, Noida, Bhopal -- Events Team
Core IdeaDon’t let “1 pipeline = 1 always-on cluster” become your cost trap.Instead, design for controlled parallelism + shared compute + smart grouping. A. Pipeline Sharding Strategy (Not Blind Splitting)Instead of randomly splitting 6,700 tables i...
MCP Servers on DatabricksGenerative AI is evolving rapidly, and one of the most exciting developments is standardizing how models interact with external systems. Let me walk you through how we got here and why the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—especia...
Insightful, detailed and incisive guide @VinayKumarB. Keep posting!
If you’ve ever worked with scheduled refreshes for Materialized Views or Streaming Tables, you probably know this pain. If your DDL-scheduled MV or ST refresh failed, nothing happened. No email, no alert, no indication that your data was stale (until...
Welcome back, @szymon_dybczak! That silent failure pain was real. These alerts are a massive win for everyone’s sanity. Thanks for the heads-up!
Databricks Clean Rooms are secure & governed collaboration environments that enable various organizations to run joint analytics without exchanging raw data eliminating sensitive data exposure. Its built-on Delta Sharing, Serverless and Unity Catalog...
I. IntroductionData pipelines are the lifeblood of modern data-driven organizations. However, even the most robust pipelines can experience unexpected issues: data corruption, erroneous updates, or sudden data drops. When these problems occur, quickl...
Great thought to use delta time travel to determine when data drift starts!But this only works as long as retention policies allow it. With vacuum and stricter runtime enforcement in newer dbx versions, older snapshots may not be there when you need ...
Hi everyone,I built Intelligence Studio, an open-source workbench that lets you browse, test, analyse, and integrate with 640+ Databricks REST APIs -- all from one interface. No more juggling docs, curl commands, Postman collections, and multiple bro...
Hey Team, in my last post I asked how much AI has actually changed your day to day, and the responses were fantastic. But let's talk about the other side for a minute. I'll go first — I've started second-guessing almost everything I see on social med...
AI tools generate code & pipelines that work functionally but ignore efficiency, scalability & cloud implications. I have bumped into belowCode generated by AI does a SQL cross join as its simple for most natural language queries that works but kills...
If you've ever worked on an insurance data warehouse, or really any warehouse where data arrives from different systems at different times, you know the pain of keeping things in sync. I spent years building data warehouses for a property and casual...
In Part 1, we covered why multi-table transactions matter. Now let's build one. We'll create the tables from the claim wrap-up scenario, load sample P&C insurance data, and walk through what happens when the wrap-up succeeds, when it fails, and when...
Hi Guys, I have passed it already some time ago, but just recently have summarized all the materials which helped me to do it. Pay special attention to GitHub repository, which contains many great exercises prepared by Databricks teamhttps://youtu.be...
Cleared Databricks Data Engineering Associate recently. Practising real questions helped me a lot, and (Certs Topic) was a reliable resource.
If you've ever built a dashboard where you needed to track the same data across two different date dimensions, you know the frustration. You get the first chart working. You add the second. Then you realise cross-filtering just stopped working. I re...
Thanks for sharing great example with detailed explanation.
We needed job_id and run_id in a custom metrics Delta table so we could join to `system.lakeflow.job_run_timeline`. Tried four approaches before finding the one that works on serverless compute.What doesn't workspark.conf.get("spark.databricks.job.id...
