The Databricks platform and data-engineering playbook for the engineers who own pipelines, govern catalogs, and keep workloads on schedule. Sixteen chapters on Unity Catalog, Lakeflow, identity, observability, and performance. Azure examples; concepts mapped to AWS and GCP.
Optimize Snowflake costs through design, not just configuration: from warehouse tuning to your data architecture, with practical decision criteria and SQL you can run today.
What I love about Dask is that it won't make us start from scratch. It doesn't ask us to learn a new language, adopt a new way of thinking, or rewrite five years of careful analysis into something completely different. It just takes the tools we've already got and quietly teaches them to work in parallel. The dataframe remains a dataframe. The array is still an array. The difference is that the work now spreads across eight cores, or eight hundred, and we barely had to change how we think.
We'll be working on a platform made up of seventy-nine recipes together. It starts off as a simple task, printing a line, but by the last chapter it covers extraction, warehousing, containers, machine learning and incident response. You can't just throw away examples in your work, and you shouldn't be doing that in your examples either. You don't need to be an Airflow expert to get started. What you're really learning here isn't a tool. It's all about making sure work is repeatable, observable and safe to rerun.
An Engineering Reference for Resilient, Scalable, and Autonomous Enterprise InfrastructureEnterprise automation is no longer limited to scheduled scripts and isolated administrative tasks. Reliable infrastructure requires coordinated systems that can detect failures, manage changing state, enforce security policies, and recover from operational problems with minimal manual intervention. Advanced Automation: 50-Chapter Master Script Package is a 50-chapter technical reference for DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), cloud architects, and platform engineers.
Every click, online transaction, social media interaction, business operation, healthcare record, mobile application, and connected device generates data. However, raw data alone cannot create value. The real power lies in discovering meaningful patterns, hidden relationships, useful knowledge, future trends, and actionable insights from that data.
ES|QL is a fresh, piped language with its own compute engine, built for the way people actually think. You start with a source, then chain small, clear steps with a single pipe, just like you would at a command line. Filter, transform, aggregate, search, enrich, and rank, all in one easy-to-read line that goes from top to bottom like a sentence.
How does code actually run under the hood? Stop guessing and master the hidden physics of execution. Learn how Python and Java truly manage memory, layout data structures, and drive high-performance algorithms.
This book is all about having a deep understanding of every configuration decision, every index design, every backup policy, and every failover drill. All the recipes in this book are for real-life tasks that you'd actually do, with all the exact commands and configurations that work on a production linux server running MySQL.
Most data modelling books teach you the craft. This one teaches you the reality. Seven chapters of honest, practical guidance from real project experience — covering conceptual modelling, governance, enterprise challenges, and the human side of data work that nobody else writes about.
