SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps data teams design and deploy Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines (formerly Delta Live Tables) on Databricks, enabling reliable batch and streaming data workflows and faster delivery of data products.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guidance for authoring Lakeflow pipelines with Python or SQL, including the supported dataset types (streams, batch, materialized views, CDC) and recommended medallion architecture.
  • Step-by-step scaffolding and best practices for project structure, CLI usage, and lifecycle management to reduce risk and accelerate delivery.
  • Real-world use cases such as CDC pipelines, Auto Loader ingestion, snapshots, and end-to-end data quality patterns that span bronze→silver→gold.

Quick Start

Scaffold a Databricks Lakeflow project and begin implementing pipelines following the medallion bronze–silver–gold pattern.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Databricks Lakeflow declarative pipeline using Python or SQL?

To build a Databricks Lakeflow declarative pipeline, you author streaming tables, batch datasets, and materialized views using Python or SQL, then scaffold the project structure and deploy via the CLI. This skill guides you through authoring and deploying these pipelines.

What is the best way to implement a medallion architecture with Auto Loader and CDC in Databricks?

The best way to implement a medallion architecture with Auto Loader and CDC in Databricks is to use Lakeflow declarative pipelines. This skill provides scaffolded patterns and best practices to guide data from bronze to silver and gold reliably.

Can I use Auto Loader and materialized views in the same Databricks Lakeflow pipeline?

Yes, you can use Auto Loader and materialized views in the same Databricks Lakeflow pipeline. The skill covers supported dataset types including streams, batch, materialized views, and Auto CDC, allowing you to combine them effectively.

Do I need to use the Databricks CLI to manage my Lakeflow Spark declarative pipelines?

Yes, you need the Databricks CLI to manage your Lakeflow Spark declarative pipelines. This skill includes step-by-step scaffolding, CLI usage, and lifecycle management best practices to reduce risk and accelerate delivery of your data products.

How does Auto CDC work when processing streaming data in Lakeflow pipelines?

Auto CDC in Lakeflow pipelines automatically processes change data capture events to keep your tables updated. This skill guides you through implementing CDC pipelines and applying end-to-end data quality patterns from bronze to gold.

What are the limitations of using declarative pipelines for batch and streaming workflows on Databricks?

Declarative pipelines for batch and streaming workflows on Databricks require careful project structure and lifecycle management to ensure safe, scalable implementation. This skill provides recommended patterns and prerequisites to navigate these constraints.
