It’s not an analytics tool, for one
Thank you pwc1
Don’t get trained in Databricks first. Learn the basics of SQL, Python, and Spark. Learn about data engineering core skills before deciding on a platform. Then, if you want to get training on a platform, go for it. But you’ll be much more valuable in the market if you understand those other things first.
Those foundational skills are essential for sure. I will say that Databricks is doing a phenomenal job of selling to the Fortune 500 and specialized skills are in short supply. Being certified in Databricks is basically a golden ticket if you want to make money doing data engineering.
Databricks is absolutely amazing at what it does. But what it does is provide compute for development and production data science use cases.
You'll still want to use your own IDE (e.g VS Code) and Databricks doesn't help you write code.
But I remember the days of enterprises using self-managed analytics clusters that were under-provisioned and difficult to access and Databricks is miles better.
Tldr: it's not a product for you, it's a product for your IT team and their architects.
Why do you ask?
Because I’m interested in getting trained in it
it's more like a platform to code in, not an analytics tool
