[BijuThottathil]

Test Mode Pattern with Databricks Widgets - Demo

📦 What's Included

This package contains comprehensive documentation and examples for implementing the Test Mode Pattern in Databricks notebooks using widgets. This pattern enables fast development cycles while maintaining production reliability.

🎯 Quick Start

Problem: Waiting 10 minutes every time you test a code change on large datasets.

Solution: Use a widget to switch between small test data (< 1 sec) and full production data (minutes).

Result: 300x faster development, fewer bugs, lower costs.
