This skill details how to set up automated CI/CD pipelines for Databricks data pipelines. It leverages Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs) and GitHub Actions to manage the entire deployment lifecycle. Key functionalities include running unit tests on pull requests, validating and deploying to staging environments, and promoting validated code to production upon merge, ensuring reliable and automated data infrastructure.

Use Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs) to manage and deploy Databricks assets, including jobs, DLT pipelines, and ML models, using an Infrastructure-as-Code approach. This skill allows defining resources and deployment targets (dev, staging, prod) in a single YAML file, enabling robust CI/CD practices and controlled promotion of changes across environments.

A guide to production-ready patterns for dbt (data build tool). It covers essential practices for robust data pipeline development, including model organization (staging, intermediate, marts), implementing advanced testing strategies, ensuring data quality, and optimizing incremental processing for large datasets.
