Databricks in 2 Hours How Companies Actually Use It

The full platform tour — lakehouse, clusters, Delta, jobs, Unity Catalog — framed around the way real data teams run it in production.

Not a feature tour. Two hours on the way real data teams run Databricks in production: why the lakehouse won, a full workspace tour of clusters, notebooks, DBFS and the SQL warehouse, then Delta Lake where it matters — ACID, time travel, MERGE and schema evolution. From there a production pipeline through the medallion layers with jobs, workflows and alerts, a retail case study, and the parts nobody teaches: governance with Unity Catalog and what a cluster actually costs. Ends on the certification path and the interview questions that follow.
