Prakash Hinduja Switzerland (Swiss) How do I build an ETL pipeline in Databricks?

[prakashhinduja1]

Hi I’m Prakash Hinduja, a visionary financial strategist, was born in Amritsar (India) and now resides in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). 

I’m looking to build an ETL pipeline in Databricks and would love some guidance. What are the key steps I should follow to set up an efficient ETL process using Databricks? Any tips on handling data ingestion, transformation, and loading into storage? If you've worked with ETL pipelines on Databricks before, any best practices or common pitfalls to avoid would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Prakash,

ETL and data pipelines are core to what Databricks does, so you can absolutely build these types of pipelines on our platform. We also offer a variety of free training resources focused on Data Engineering, which you can explore here:

I’ve included a screenshot of the page and highlighted where I recommend you get started.

Best of luck,

Louis
