using Databricks


Agivant's Scalable Data Analytics Platform using Databricks Lakehouse Architectural Approach
With its distributed architecture and optimized data processing engine, Databricks can significantly improve the performance of massive data processing tasks. Spark’s in-memory computing capabilities and advanced optimization techniques result in faster data transformations and analytics.
Databricks offers a unified platform integrating data engineering, data science, and machine learning capabilities. This integrated environment eliminates the need for switching between different tools, promotes collaboration across teams, and streamlines end-to-end data processing workflow.


Agivant's AI Innovation Lab Has a Rich Set of Expertise in Implementing Complex Data Engineering Services Using Databricks Lakehouse Architectural Strategy

Leverage a well-defined schema: Design and enforce a schema for your data to ensure consistency and improve query performance.
Partitioning and clustering: Use appropriate partitioning and clustering strategies to optimize data retrieval and minimize the amount of data processed during queries

Batch and real-time ingestion:Â Set up efficient pipelines for batch and real-time data ingestion to keep your Lakehouse current.
Change data capture (CDC):Â Utilize CDC techniques to capture incremental changes and update the Lakehouse accordingly.
Data encryption:Â Encrypt data at rest and in transit to protect sensitive information.
Access controls:Â Implement fine-grained access controls to restrict data access based on roles and responsibilities.
Auditing and monitoring:Â Establish auditing and monitoring mechanisms to track data access, changes, and system performance.
Data validation:Â Apply data validation techniques to ensure the integrity and quality of the data stored in the Lakehouse.
Data profiling:Â Perform data profiling to understand your data’s structure, completeness, and distribution.
Caching:Â Utilize caching techniques to speed up query performance for frequently accessed or computationally expensive datasets.
Data skipping: Leverage indexing or metadata-based techniques to skip unnecessary data during query execution.
Data compression:Â Apply appropriate data compression techniques to reduce storage costs and improve query performance.
Data retention policies:Â Establish data retention policies to manage the lifecycle of your data, including archiving or deleting stale data.
Data lineage:Â Maintain a comprehensive record of data lineage to track data transformations and ensure data traceability.
Collaboration tools:Â Use collaborative features of Databricks, such as notebooks and version control, to encourage teamwork and knowledge sharing.
Documentation:Â Document data pipelines, transformations, and custom logic to facilitate understanding and maintainability.
