What problem does it solve?

This Skill generates realistic synthetic data for Databricks workloads using Faker and Spark, enabling safe testing, demos, and data validation without exposing real customer data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate master and related tables (customers, orders, tickets) with non-linear distributions, temporal patterns, and holiday effects.
  • Save data to Databricks volumes as Parquet to support downstream SDP pipelines (bronze, silver, gold).
  • Configure data size and date range to simulate varied analytics workloads and scenarios.

Quick Start

Run the data generation script to produce a synthetic dataset (e.g., 2,500 customers, 25,000 orders, 8,000 tickets) and write it to your Databricks volume. Install required libraries if missing: pip install faker holidays
