Azure Databricks Cookbook

Get to grips with building and productionizing end-to-end big data solutions in Azure and learn best practices for working with large datasetsKey Features://Integrate with Azure Synapse Analytics Cosmos DB and Azure HDInsight Kafka Cluster to scale and analyze your projects and build pipelinesUse Databricks SQL to run ad hoc queries on your data lake and create dashboardsProductionize a solution using CI/CD for deploying notebooks and Azure Databricks Service to various environmentsbr>/Book Description://Azure Databricks is a unified collaborative platform for performing scalable analytics in an interactive environment. The Azure Databricks Cookbook provides recipes to get hands-on with the analytics process including ingesting data from various batch and streaming sources and building a modern data warehouse./br>/The book starts by teaching you how to create an Azure Databricks instance within the Azure portal Azure CLI and ARM templates. You'll work through clusters in Databricks and explore recipes for ingesting data from sources including files databases and streaming sources such as Apache Kafka and EventHub. The book will help you explore all the features supported by Azure Databricks for building powerful end-to-end data pipelines. You'll also find out how to build a modern data warehouse by using Delta tables and Azure Synapse Analytics. Later you'll learn how to write ad hoc queries and extract meaningful insights from the data lake by creating visualizations and dashboards with Databricks SQL. Finally you'll deploy and productionize a data pipeline as well as deploy notebooks and Azure Databricks service using continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)./br>/By the end of this Azure book you'll be able to use Azure Databricks to streamline different processes involved in building data-driven apps./br>/What You Will Learn://Read and write data from and to various Azure resources and file formatsBuild a modern data warehouse with Delta Tables and Azure Synapse AnalyticsExplore jobs stages and tasks and see how Spark lazy evaluation worksHandle concurrent transactions and learn performance optimization in Delta tablesLearn Databricks SQL and create real-time dashboards in Databricks SQLIntegrate Azure DevOps for version control deploying and productionizing solutions with CI/CD pipelinesDiscover how to use RBAC and ACLs to restrict data accessBuild end-to-end data processing pipeline for near real-time data analyticsbr>/Who this book is for://This recipe-based book is for data scientists data engineers big data professionals and machine learning engineers who want to perform data analytics on their applications.
