Databricks Notebooks in Production: Best Practices
Using notebooks is convenient when you write code for Databricks. However, it is a common opinion that they should not be used to run a production code. In my talk, I would like to argue that having notebooks in production may actually be the best decision compared to other deployment options, especially in terms of convenience, maintainability, and efficiency.

Interactive data engineering discussion
After the keynote, it’s your turn: we’ll fire up a live Mentimeter to get your thoughts, opinions, and hot takes. Then we’ll look at the results together to discuss, agree, disagree (nicely!), or just raise an eyebrow. There’s no prep needed. Just bring your phone to scan the QR code, and you’re in. Quick, easy, and mildly addictive!
