⚡ Parallelism In Databricks ⚡
1️⃣ DEFINITION
Parallelism = running many tasks 🏃♂️🏃♀️ at the same time
(instead of one by one 🐢).
In Databricks (via Apache Spark), data is split into
📦 partitions, and each partition is processed
simultaneously across worker nodes 💻💻💻.
2️⃣ KEY CONCEPTS
🔹 Partition = one chunk of data 📦
🔹 Task = work done on a partition 🛠️
🔹 Stage = group of tasks that run in parallel ⚙️
🔹 Job = complete action (made of stages + tasks) 📊
3️⃣ HOW IT WORKS
✅ Step 1: Dataset ➡️ divided into partitions 📦📦📦
✅ Step 2: Each partition ➡️ assigned to a worker 💻
✅ Step 3: Workers run tasks in parallel ⏩
✅ Step 4: Results ➡️ combined into final output 🎯
4️⃣ EXAMPLES
# Increase parallelism by repartitioning
df = spark.read.csv("/data/huge_file.csv")
df = df.repartition(200) # ⚡ 200 parallel tasks
# Spark DataFrame ops run in parallel by default 🚀
result = df.groupBy("category").count()
# Parallelize small Python objects 📂
rdd = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(range(1000), numSlices=50)
rdd.map(lambda x: x * 2).collect()
# Parallel workflows in Jobs UI ⚡
# Independent tasks = run at the same time.
5️⃣ BEST PRACTICES
⚖️ Balance partitions → not too few, not too many
📉 Avoid data skew → partitions should be even
🗃️ Cache data if reused often
💪 Scale cluster → more workers = more parallelism
====================================================
📌 SUMMARY
Parallelism in Databricks = split data 📦 →
assign tasks 🛠️ → run them at the same time ⏩ →
faster results 🚀

Hey everyone 👋
Some time ago, I asked if I should start a Data Science educational series and since 96% of you said yes, I began creating it.
But many of you also asked for real, hands-on experience with projects, not just lessons. So I decided to shift gears. It’s now becoming a full practical coding course! 💻
My goal is to help you build skills that get you job-ready, not just teach theory. It’s taking a bit longer, but I promise it’ll be worth it.
Thank you all for your support and patience ❤️
I’ll let you know as soon as we’re ready to start!

🚨 When & How Jupyter Notebooks Fail (And What To Use Instead)
Hey Data Folks! 👩💻👨💻
Let’s talk about Jupyter Notebooks — powerful for exploration, but risky in production. Here’s why:
❌ Problems with Notebooks:
1. Out-of-order execution → hidden bugs.
2. Code changes after execution → inconsistent results.
3. Data leakage → sensitive info in outputs.
4. Security risks → tokens/keys exposed.
5. Hard to apply engineering practices → no modular code, testing, CI/CD.
6. Collaboration pain → merge conflicts, JSON issues.
7. Reproducibility issues → missing dependencies, versions.
✅ When They’re Useful:
- Quick data exploration & prototyping.
- Knowledge sharing (clean, runnable from top to bottom).
- Teaching / hands-on tutorials (with solution notebooks).
🔧 What to Use Instead:
- For production code → .py files + IDEs.
- For workflows → template repos & reproducible setups.
- For deployment → MLOps tools, pipelines, automation.
💡 Key Takeaways:
- Use notebooks for exploration & teaching.
- Use structured code + pipelines for production & deployment.
- Always document dependencies, keep notebooks clean, never commit secrets!
