What is... a Notebook?
The Notebook is the front door to Databricks - it's where most of your time is spent on the platform. Analysts can write Python code for custom analysis; data engineers can orchestrate and monitor pipelines, and users can run complex integrated operations like upserts on databases. And all in a pretty UI!
Features:
- Multi-language (use Python, Scala, SQL and R)
- Collaborative (real-time co-editing, co-commenting)
- Jupyter-compatible
- Ideal for exploration (built in visualization, summarization of data profiles)
- Refactor notebooks into modules in the workspace and pull them into pipelines
- Support for git controls
- Schedulable to be used as jobs
- Integrated with Unity Catalog for access-control purposes
- Fast auto-complete, databricks aware
