PySpark Training in Latvia

This live, instructor-led training in Latvia delves into the Stratio platform, with a specific focus on integrating the Rocket and Intelligence modules with PySpark. Participants will gain proficiency in data ingestion, transformation, and advanced analytics, while developing practical skills in loop structures, user-defined functions (UDFs), and enterprise-level data workflows.

Join this instructor-led, live training in Latvia, where you will discover how to leverage the combined power of Python and Spark for big data analysis through practical, hands-on exercises.

Upon completion, participants will be equipped to:

• Apply Spark and Python synergistically to process and analyze large datasets.
• Engage with exercises that replicate real-world scenarios.
• Leverage various tools and methodologies for big data analytics using PySpark.

This instructor-led live training, delivered either online or onsite, targets data engineers, analysts, and professionals looking to utilize Databricks and PySpark for constructing scalable data pipelines and migrating legacy SQL workflows.

This program provides a practical foundation for constructing scalable data processing and Machine Learning workflows with PySpark. It teaches participants how Apache Spark integrates into modern Big Data ecosystems and how to utilize distributed computing to process large datasets efficiently.

Over the course of three intensive days, this practical training programme centres on the development and refinement of high-efficiency data processing workflows leveraging PySpark, Pandas, and Polars within Kubernetes-based ecosystems.

Learners will cultivate a hands-on grasp of Spark application execution on Kubernetes, specifically examining how configuration decisions at the application level impact performance, scalability, resource utilization, and operational costs. Key optimisation topics include sizing executors, managing memory allocation, dynamic allocation, partitioning methodologies, shuffle dynamics, mitigating small-file issues, and enhancing Parquet processing efficiency.

Additionally, the course tackles frequent obstacles encountered in Pandas usage, such as memory constraints and out-of-memory exceptions, while introducing Polars as a high-performance alternative for specific data processing tasks. Through practical exercises, participants will learn to identify performance and memory bottlenecks, evaluate various configuration strategies, and implement optimisation techniques in realistic ETL and machine learning contexts.

The primary focus remains on practical decision-making: gaining the ability to pinpoint bottlenecks, select the most suitable tool, configure Spark for peak efficiency, and strike a balance between performance and infrastructure resource consumption and cost.
