Handle massive datasets at scale. Master distributed computing with Apache Spark, Databricks, and build robust ETL pipelines for big data.
When Excel crashes and Python runs out of memory, you need Spark. This course teaches distributed computing for Big Data. You will learn the Spark Architecture (Driver/Worker nodes), use PySpark for data transformation, and manage jobs in Databricks. We cover building resilient ETL pipelines, handling streaming data, and optimizing queries for performance. This is the core skillset for Data Engineers building the infrastructure that powers Data Science teams.

Spark has largely replaced MapReduce/Hadoop.
We focus on PySpark (Python) as it is most popular.
We use Databricks Community Edition (free cloud).
Conceptual shift from single-computer thinking.
