Databricks Machine Learning: Building and Deploying Models

Many machine learning models fail to deliver value because they never leave the experimental phase. Databricks provides a unified platform that bridges the gap between data science and production deployment. Through this text-based course, you will understand how to leverage Databricks to manage the entire machine learning lifecycle. You will transition from writing isolated code to building scalable, collaborative ML pipelines that are ready for real-world deployment. What you'll learn: Understand foundational Databricks workspace concepts and collaborative notebooks; Explore data preparation and feature engineering using Delta Lake; Train and tune machine learning models using popular libraries within the Databricks environment; Track experiments and parameters using integrated MLflow tracking; Register, version, and manage models for deployment with the MLflow Model Registry; Apply best practices for scalable model training and basic pipeline automation. The course begins with essential Databricks terminology and workspace navigation, then guides you step-by-step through data preparation, model training, experiment tracking, and lifecycle management. This course is designed for aspiring data scientists, analysts, and software engineers who are new to Databricks and want to learn how to operationalize machine learning models. No prior Databricks experience is required, though a basic understanding of Python and machine learning concepts is helpful.
