Analyzing Big Data in Azure cloud using Spark and Databricks

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Azure Databricks is shown as a data engineering platform that combines Spark, Delta Lake ACID logs and MLflow on cheap cloud storage; demos create tables over CSV and Parquet, inserted Parquet into SQL Server and mount blob containers, and a notebook widget widgets auto-refresh to drive both SQL and Python cells. Medallion layout (bronze/silver/gold), serverless SQL warehouses, streaming with exactly‑once guarantees, and Delta Live Tables declarative pipelines are demonstrated; cluster sizing, spot instances and terminate-after settings are used to control cost.
