This comprehensive guide outlines the end-to-end process of building production-grade ETL data pipelines using Databricks and Delta Lake. It implements the robust Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold) for scalable data management. Techniques covered include Auto Loader for incremental streaming ingestion, MERGE INTO for upsert semantics, data cleansing, and advanced aggregation into analytics-ready layers. Ideal for establishing reliable data pipelines in a data lakehouse environment.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for minimizing cloud expenditure on Databricks. It covers identifying cost drivers via system billing tables, implementing cluster policies, utilizing spot instances for batch processing, right-sizing SQL warehouses, and automating the shutdown of idle development clusters. Use it when managing cloud spending or optimizing data platform usage.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide on implementing robust data governance patterns within Delta Lake, leveraging Unity Catalog. It covers essential compliance topics such as data classification tagging, handling GDPR 'right-to-deletion' requests for PII, and establishing automated data retention policies. Use this when designing secure, compliant, and auditable data pipelines in a data lake environment.

This comprehensive diagnostic bundle collects critical evidence from the Databricks environment, including environment setup, cluster state, job run history, and Delta table diagnostics. It generates a redacted, safe tar.gz file specifically designed for submitting detailed support tickets and efficiently troubleshooting complex data pipeline issues.

This skill guides the setup and management of Databricks resources across development, staging, and production environments. It covers best practices for using isolated workspaces, managing environment-specific secrets, implementing Asset Bundles, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines to ensure consistent and reliable data deployments.

This skill provides comprehensive observability for the Databricks platform. It enables users to monitor job run histories, track cluster utilization and associated costs (DBU), detect slow SQL queries, and audit access logs. Use it for setting up robust monitoring dashboards, ensuring pipeline health, and optimizing resource consumption across the entire data stack.

A comprehensive guide and implementation pattern for managing rate limits, throttling, and ensuring idempotency when interacting with the Databricks API. This skill demonstrates techniques like exponential backoff with jitter, token-bucket rate limiting, and using idempotency tokens to make bulk and concurrent API calls reliable and efficient, minimizing HTTP 429 errors.

A comprehensive guide to production-ready patterns for the Databricks Python SDK. This skill covers essential best practices including singleton client initialization, structured error handling with typed exceptions, context-managed cluster lifecycle control (ensuring cleanup), and implementing type-safe job definitions. It is essential for building robust, maintainable, and idiomatic integrations with the Databricks platform.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to configuring event-driven workflows and robust notification systems for Databricks jobs. It covers setting up various notification destinations (Slack, Teams, Email, PagerDuty) and triggering alerts based on job lifecycle events (success, failure, start). Furthermore, it demonstrates advanced monitoring using system audit tables and creating automated SQL alerts for critical data pipeline monitoring.

This guide provides essential best practices for building reliable, fault-tolerant applications in Go using DBOS durable workflows. It covers architectural patterns for integrating DBOS into existing Go code, defining complex workflows, managing steps, and utilizing queues for robust concurrency control. Essential reading for developers setting up, configuring, or testing mission-critical asynchronous processes.

A comprehensive guide detailing best practices for building reliable, fault-tolerant Python applications utilizing DBOS durable workflows. This resource is essential when integrating DBOS into existing Python codebases, defining complex workflows and steps, managing concurrency via queues, or implementing robust workflow communication patterns.

A comprehensive guide for building reliable, fault-tolerant applications using DBOS durable workflows within a TypeScript environment. It covers best practices for initialization, structuring complex workflows and steps, managing concurrency via queues, and integrating DBOS into existing TypeScript codebases.
