Spark Declarative Pipelines
Apache Spark™ Declarative Pipelines is a declarative framework for building batch and streaming data pipelines in SQL and Python. Lakeflow pipelines extend and are interoperable with Spark Declarative Pipelines, while running on the performance-optimized Databricks Runtime. Common use cases for pipelines include data ingestion from sources such as cloud storage (such as Amazon S3, Azure ADLS Gen2, and Google Cloud Storage) and message buses (such as Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, Google Pub/Sub, Azure EventHub, and Apache Pulsar), and incremental batch and streaming transformations.
