Apache Spark in the Cloud Training Course

This instructor-led live training in Slovakia (online or onsite) is intended for intermediate-level data scientists and engineers who aim to utilize Google Colab and Apache Spark for big data processing and analytics.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Configure a big data environment using Google Colab and Spark.
• Process and analyze large datasets efficiently with Apache Spark.
• Visualize big data in a collaborative environment.
• Integrate Apache Spark with cloud-based tools.

This instructor-led live training (online or onsite) is designed for data engineers, data analysts, and data professionals who wish to use Databricks and PySpark to build scalable data pipelines and migrate existing SQL workflows.

This training offers a hands-on introduction to developing scalable data processing and Machine Learning workflows with PySpark. Participants will discover how Apache Spark functions within contemporary Big Data ecosystems and learn to process large datasets efficiently by applying distributed computing principles.

This intensive three-day course is dedicated to the construction and refinement of high-efficiency data processing pipelines utilizing PySpark, Pandas, and Polars within Kubernetes ecosystems.

Learners will gain hands-on insight into the execution mechanics of Spark applications on Kubernetes, specifically examining how application-level configuration choices dictate performance, scalability, resource utilization, and operational costs. The curriculum delves into critical optimization domains, such as executor sizing, memory management, dynamic allocation, partitioning methodologies, shuffle dynamics, mitigation of small-file issues, and the efficient handling of Parquet data.

Furthermore, the course tackles prevalent challenges associated with Pandas, such as memory constraints and out-of-memory failures, while introducing Polars as a high-performance alternative for specific processing tasks. Through practical exercises, participants will learn to diagnose performance and memory bottlenecks, evaluate various configuration strategies, and implement optimization techniques in realistic ETL and machine learning contexts.

The core focus remains on practical decision-making: mastering the identification of bottlenecks, selecting the optimal tooling, configuring Spark for maximum efficiency, and balancing performance against infrastructure resource consumption and cost.
