Hosted by Maria Vechtomova and Başak Eskili
What you'll learn
Choose the right Databricks compute configuration
Understand what compute configurations you need to choose for your use case.
Understand Databricks Developer tools
Understand different options Databricks developers have: Databricks CLI, dbconnect, VS code extension, asset bundles.
Learn an optimal way to use the developer tools

Why this topic matters
Any AI engineer must be able to write proper Python code. Unfortunately, this is not easy to achieve while working in a notebook, which is a predominant way of developing on Databricks.
In this session, we will show you alternative ways that will help you save time later when you move your project from a POC to production.
