Picture this: you’re sitting in front of Excel, staring at rows of numbers. You know the answers are in there somewhere—revenue trends, customer behavior, performance metrics—but pulling them out means writing queries, exporting data, or switching be...
Don’t overwrite your code — make it immutable! With every deployment, thanks to immutable_folder, all files are copied to a new, read-only folder. They are not overwritten. The biggest benefit is that jobs already underway will not fail or produce un...
19 is already here, but 18 is now LTS. In a new naming convention, LTS doesn’t have a minor version. New features, behavior changes, and fixes are now added incrementally to the same major Runtime version till it becomes LTS. In fact, that approach s...

One of the biggest challenges in modern data work isn’t just collecting information — it’s trusting it. Data moves through so many pipelines, transformations, and dashboards that by the time it reaches a business user, the question often becomes: whe...
I’ve been testing Genie Code in Databricks and wanted to understand not just the UX, but the actual cost behavior.My impression so far:for simple code edits / code assistance, it looks almost free,but if Genie Code starts doing things that involve re...
Great writeup - I'm also facing the same problem with Genie Code.1. This billing attribution gap isn't specific to Genie Code, it shows up anywhere an agent/orchestration layer spins up ad-hoc compute (serverless one) on your behalf. Eventhough you c...
As data engineers, we spend a significant amount of time writing SQL queries to ingest, transform, and analyse data. However, writing a query that returns the correct results is only part of the equation. Equally important is understanding how Spark ...
Azure Databricks now allows organisations to configure a custom URL at the account level, providing a unified and branded access point for all users.Instead of navigating multiple workspace-specific URLs, users can log in once using a single custom U...

In the Lakebase project, we can enable Lakebase Search. Lakebase Search is Databricks’ managed search capability for Lakebase projects. Under the hood, it exposes two Postgres extensions: lakebase_vector, which adds approximate nearest-neighbor vecto...

This is one of those Databricks concepts that becomes very easy once you stop thinking about features and start thinking about “Do I want to move the data or not?As a data engineer, think:Query Federation = “Read remotely.”Lakeflow Connect = “Bring t...
