Suppose you have multiple data sources and you want to bring the data into one place, transform it and make it into a data model. Azure Databricks is a perfectly suited solution for this. Leverage spark JDBC or any external cloud based tool (ADG, AWS Glue) to bring the data into a cloud storage. From there, Azure Databricks can handle everything. The data can be ingested by Azure Databricks into a 3 Layer architecture based on the delta lake tables. The first layer, raw layer, has the raw as is data from source. The enrich layer, acts as the cleaning and filtering layer to clean the data at an individual table level. The gold layer, is the final layer responsible for a data model. This acts as the serving layer for BI For BI needs, if you need simple dashboards, you can leverage Azure Databricks BI to create them with a simple click! For complex dashboards, just like any sql db, you can hook it with a simple JDBC string to any external BI tool.

Cons
Microsoft
  • Their pipeline workflow orchestration is pretty primitive. Lacks some common features
  • Workspace UI and navigation requires steep learning curve
  • Personally, I am not fond of their autosave feature. Its dangerous for production level notebooks scripts

Against all the tools I have used, Azure Databricks is by far the most superior of them all! Why, you ask? The UI is modern, the features are never ending and they keep adding new features. And to quote Apple, "It just works!" Far ahead of the competition, the delta lakehouse platform also fares better than it counterparts of Iceberg implementation or a loosely bound Delta Lake implementation of Synapse

Jobs can be run on demand using Immediate jobs, or scheduled with a Cron expression using Scheduled Jobs. The integrated Job system can be used on its own, or it can be used to run code with tools like Airflow or Prefect.Screenshot of When deploying a project and publishing the results, Services help to deploy custom long-running programs like web servers to host results, or integrations can be used. From publishing processed data to S3 buckets, to hosting trained models on Nvidia Triton, to publishing dashboards in Apache Superset, it helps data scientists deploy their projects and their artifacts with minimal configuration or maintenance required
