The primary goal of Databricks Assistant was to help users write code, debug issues, and fix errors directly inside notebooks. It acted as an AI-powered helper that simplified development for data engineers, data scientists, and analysts working on t...
I think it is time to move out of ADF now. If databricks is your main platform, you can go to Databricks Lakeflow Jobs or to Fabric ADF. Obviously first choice makes more sense, especially if you orchestrate databricks and don't want to spend unneces...

More under DABS! External locations are now available as DABS code. I hope that credentials will be available soon, too, so it will be possible to reference the credential resource from an external location. #databricks https://medium.com/@databricks...
This is great, so eventually DAB might help replacing Terraform overhead for these platform resources or any other infrastructure maintenance and governance.
Many teams think migrating from Azure Data Factory to Databricks Lakeflow Jobs is just a pipeline rewrite. It’s not.It’s about:* Simplifying over-engineered architectures* Reducing orchestration and monitoring overhead* Aligning data engineering with...
