I have been exploring the architecture behind Agent Bricks Knowledge Assistant, particularly the relationship between Instructed Retriever and the newer Instructed-Retriever-1 model.One practical question helped me understand the difference:“The prod...
Most public GitHub repositories for Databricks are just dry code dumps. You get a massive YAML file, a basic README, and are expected to just figure it out.When building production-grade infrastructure, engineers need to see the architecture and unde...
R&D teams work with many forms of life sciences data, making it important to organize that data and uncover connections across it. The R&D Optimization With Knowledge Graphs Solution Accelerator shows how knowledge graphs combine the semantics, scala...
Scheduling a Genie Agent to run the morning ops report before anyone logs inMost automation makes a report run faster. We wanted ours to run when nobody was around to start it — already sitting in Slack when the team opened their laptops.For eighteen...
If you have been brought up in the Microsoft stack, post MDX, you have most likely been taught the Kimball way of modelling your data: A Star SchemaIf you are coming from the Power BI world, you have most likely come across the term Semantic Models, ...
Thanks you for the summary @KrisJohannesen. It's great to know what is possible, but it all still feels like a workaround. I really hope that Chao Cai's response means that we will real have multi-fact support in metric views.
This is part 3 of 3 in a series where I take you through working with Metric Views.Part 1: Introduction to Metric ViewsPart 2: Metric Views and the Databricks platform (AI/BI Dashboards, Genie, etc.)Part 3: Metric Views with Power BI and Tabular Edit...
Finally someone touching this important topic - I see great interest in migrating semantic layer from power bi to databricks, but lack of true multi-fact support is a major blocker in my opinion and therefore I'm cooling down the enthusiasm ;-). @Kri...
Infra keeps getting faster, but the fix for a slow notebook is usually a config line, not a bigger cluster.One Spark Config, 32 Minutes Saved: Replacing MERGE with Dynamic Partition OverwriteBy @Phani_sannala , co-authored with @sridharplv Our gold n...
The new Databricks Certified Context Engineer Associate beta exam is not a typical certification exam.I took it during Data + AI Summit 2026, and my first reaction was simple: this is a serious exam.I have completed seven Databricks certifications so...

One interesting way to look at CDF on Materialized Views is the difference between source-level change and business-level change.CDC might tell us that five banking transactions changed. But after those transactions pass through our transformations,...
Good point, @AmitDECopilot that gap between "row changed" and "value actually changed enough to matter" is where most CDC setups trip up. We hit the same thing on a Gold-layer project: CDF told us data moved, but teams really wanted to know "did the...

Most of the guidance on getting SQL Server data into Databricks quietly assumes the SQL Server is already in Azure. If it is, the managed connector story is easy. But on a lot of real projects the database is sitting on-premises, in a data centre tha...
There's a lot of talk about "agent-ready data governance" right now, and the mechanics are well covered on this board: service principals per agent, Unity Catalog grants, AI Gateway guardrails, MCP tools as securables. The layer that sits on top of a...
When teams scale their Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs) adoption, one of the first infrastructure questions that comes up is: should we keep all our bundles in a single monorepo, or split them across dedicated repos per domain? Having run both models ...
