With the General Availability of DABS (Databricks Asset Bundle) in April 2024, Databricks announced it as their tool/framework to facilitate the adoption of software engineering best practices, including source control, code review, testing, and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), for your Data and AI projects.

But what does this mean? How do you prepare your (current) IaC, CI/CD strategy? And how do you encourage the development teams to adopt it?

Join me in this session where I will touch base on the core components involved when setting up DABS, look inside the tool and its integration with Terraform, and share my experience and good practices to apply DABS using a valuable checklist together with security aspects. Gain a good perspective on how ETL and/or AI developers can transition from development to production mode while using VSCode, Git Integration, and Azure DevOps.

Throughout this session, you will see use case demonstrations to have a better sense of DABS benefits, challenges, and implementation in your daily activities.
