Data Triggers and Advanced Control Flow With Lakeflow Jobs

Lakeflow Jobs is the production-ready fully managed orchestrator for the entire Lakehouse with 99.95% uptime. Join us for a dive into how you can orchestrate your enterprise data operations, from triggering your jobs only when your data is ready to advanced control flow with conditionals, looping and job modularity — with demos! Attendees will gain practical insights into optimizing their data operations by orchestrating with Lakeflow Jobs: New task types: Publish AI/BI Dashboards, push to Power BI or ingest with Lakeflow Connect Advanced execution control: Reference SQL Task outputs, run partial DAGs and perform targeted backfills Repair runs: Re-run failed pipelines with surgical precision using task-level repair Control flow upgrades: Native for-each loops and conditional logic make DAGs more dynamic + expressive Smarter triggers: Kick off jobs based on file arrival or Delta table changes, enabling responsive workflows Code-first approach to pipeline orchestration

A Practitioner’s Guide to Databricks Serverless

This session is repeated. Databricks Serverless revolutionizes data engineering and analytics by eliminating the complexities of infrastructure management. This talk will provide an overview of this powerful serverless compute option, highlighting how it enables practitioners to focus solely on building robust data pipelines. We'll explore the core benefits, including automatic scaling, cost optimization and seamless integration with the Databricks ecosystem. Learn how serverless workflows simplify the orchestration of various data tasks, from ingestion to dashboards, ultimately accelerating time-to-insight and boosting productivity. This session is ideal for data engineers, data scientists and analysts looking to leverage the agility and efficiency of serverless computing in their data workflows.
