I am looking for direction and input: I am an SAP data architect, with around 20 years of expossure to the data model itself, plus I’ve installed the SAP Data Warehouse some 6, or 7 times. I am certified in SAP’s newest analytics Tool, SAP Analytics Cloud. And separately I’ve created a library full of SQL scripts to access and display various clients’ SAP data needs. I see the world from within the monastery.
Ant here is what I am contemplating – I would like to jump into the Databricks pool, and aim for ‘Databricks Engineer’ certification.
I see SAP as a data machine, and databricks as an engineering machine, so with the recent Datasphere + Databricks connection (not an engagement yet) I see a great potential, so some constructive criticism would be appreciated.
Just to show I’m not completely green, I have been playing with Python on and off for several years, and I also have Jupyter Notebook set up a couple of years ago with some 20 projects. Separately, I have some Machine Learning, mainly time series, understanding.
Am I crazy? I’d appreciate any comments, or input. Is there a perception that the SAP + Databricks connection is great? What do you think?
