Description

Written by a Senior Solutions Architect at Databricks, Data Engineering with Databricks Cookbook will show you how to effectively use Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and Databricks for data engineering, starting with comprehensive introduction to data ingestion and loading with Apache Spark. What makes this book unique is its recipe-based approach, which will help you put your knowledge to use straight away and tackle common problems. You’ll be introduced to various data manipulation and data transformation solutions that can be applied to data, find out how to manage and optimize Delta tables, and get to grips with ingesting and processing streaming data. The book will also show you how to improve the performance problems of Apache Spark apps and Delta Lake. Advanced recipes later in the book will teach you how to use Databricks to implement DataOps and DevOps practices, as well as how to orchestrate and schedule data pipelines using Databricks Workflows. You’ll also go through the full process of setup and configuration of the Unity Catalog for data governance. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed in building reliable and scalable data pipelines using modern data engineering technologies.

Data engineering continues to expand into every data persona's required skillset, whether you know it or not. Data Scientists need to preprocess their data to serve their Machine Learning use cases, Data Analysts need to further clean their data for their Data Warehousing needs. This skillset will continue to become more and more valuable as more enterprises rely on their data to produce actionable insights.If you're looking for example code and reference frameworks for basic to intermediate data engineering tasks, this book is for you. The author does a great job balancing between open source tools (Apache Spark and Delta Lake) and more managed technologies (i.e. Spark on Databricks, Unity Catalog). It even goes through some CI/CD concepts and orchestration best practices which helps you take the basic skills you learn in the early chapters into production.Overall, I find myself coming back to this book any time I need to quickly ingest some new data or optimize my pipelines. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking to get a strong foundation in data engineering.
