December Meeting: What's New in Azure Databricks? - with John Miner

The Albuquerque SQL Server User Group (ABQSQL) will be having its next meeting on Friday, December 15th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM online via Microsoft Teams.

This month John Miner, Microsoft Data Platform MVP and Senior Data Architect at Insight Digital Innovation, will be bringing us up to speed on the latest developments in Azure Databricks. Please join us for his presentation “What's New in Azure Databricks?". Ask John your data questions, and get to know your peers!

Presentation description: "The Azure Databricks ecosystem has been
around for about five years. During that time, the vendor has kept on improving both the interface and the design patterns. There are three new things that you should be using in your data engineering projects.

First, scheduling jobs has always been a part of the product. However, with workflows one can control the pattern in which notebooks are executed. Second, delta live tables allow the developer to specify the source, the transformation and the destination of data using Python. This complete workflow can be scheduled as either a batch or real time streaming job.

Third, cloning technology has come to delta tables. One can use shallow clones to keep different environments in synch with the master. On the other hand, deep clones allow the developer to stamp out a table at a given point of time.

To recap, come to this presentation to learn about these new design patterns and get a demonstration on how to apply them in your data engineering projects."
