In this session, we will share NCS’s approach to implementing a Databricks Lakehouse architecture, focusing on key lessons learned and best practices from our recent implementations. By integrating Databricks SQL Warehouse, the DBT Transform framework and our innovative test automation framework, we’ve optimized performance and scalability, while ensuring data quality. We’ll dive into how Unity Catalog enabled robust data governance, empowering business units with self-serve analytical workspaces to create insights while maintaining control. Through the use of solution accelerators, rapid environment deployment and pattern-driven ELT frameworks, we’ve fast-tracked time-to-value and fostered a culture of innovation. Attendees will gain valuable insights into accelerating data transformation, governance and scaling analytics with Databricks.
