/ What you'll learn
Follow the data — from raw source to real decisions.
The 13 phases map onto five stages of a production pipeline. You'll build each stage yourself, then connect them into a single retail lakehouse.
Data Factory · Auto Loader
Ingest
Pull data from databases, files and streams. Build a metadata-driven framework that handles full and incremental loads from one pipeline.
- Batch & streaming sources
- Watermarking & CDC
- Metadata-driven framework
ADLS Gen2 · Lakehouse
Store
Design a medallion lakehouse on ADLS Gen2. Model bronze, silver and gold layers on Delta, with ACID guarantees and a real transaction log.
- Delta Lake & the _delta_log
- Bronze/Silver/Gold
- Z-ordering & liquid clustering
Databricks · PySpark
Transform
Clean, join and reshape at scale. Handle schema drift, deduplication and business logic with tested Spark jobs.
- PySpark & SQL
- Schema evolution
- Unit-tested transforms
ADF Pipelines · Databricks Workflows
Orchestrate
Schedule, monitor and retry. Wire the stages into multi-task workflows with dependencies, automated retries and an enterprise audit log.
- Task dependencies
- Retries & scheduling
- Logging & audit framework
Unity Catalog · Gold Layer
Serve
Turn curated data into decisions. Publish business-ready gold marts governed by Unity Catalog, with lineage and fine-grained access control.
- Business-ready gold marts
- Unity Catalog lineage
- Row & column-level security
/ The path
Thirteen phases. Thirty-three modules. One production platform.
Built for data engineers with 3–8 years of experience. The programme moves in order — foundations, then the Azure stack, then the enterprise patterns a senior engineer is expected to own. Nearly every phase ends in a hands-on build.
- PHASE 01Module 1
Data Engineering Foundations
The mental model first — OLTP vs OLAP, warehouse vs lake vs lakehouse, ETL vs ELT, and the medallion architecture everything later builds on.
- PHASE 02Modules 2–3
Azure Fundamentals
Get the platform under you: subscriptions, resource groups and regions, then ADLS Gen2 with a Bronze/Silver/Gold layout and secured access paths.
- PHASE 03Modules 4–6
SQL for Data Engineers
From joins and set operators through window functions, recursive CTEs, views and stored procedures — the SQL depth interviews actually probe.
- PHASE 04Modules 7–14
Azure Data Factory
The longest phase. Linked services and activities, then dynamic parameterised pipelines, a metadata-driven framework, incremental loads, logging and SHIR.
- PHASE 05Modules 15–18
Databricks & PySpark
How Spark genuinely executes — driver, executors, DAG, Catalyst, AQE — then DataFrames, schemas, complex types, joins and vectorised UDFs.
- PHASE 06Modules 19–21
Delta Lake & Lakehouse
ACID on the lake: the transaction log, MERGE, time travel, Z-ordering and change data feed, assembled into a working Bronze → Silver → Gold flow.
- PHASE 07Modules 22–23
Streaming Data Engineering
Structured Streaming with checkpointing, watermarks and stateful aggregation, plus Auto Loader for event-driven incremental file discovery.
- PHASE 08Modules 24–25
Performance Tuning
Why pipelines are slow and how to prove it — partitioning, broadcast joins, skew and salting, Photon, caching and cluster right-sizing.
- PHASE 09Modules 26–28
Enterprise Databricks
Unity Catalog governance and lineage, row and column-level security, secret scopes, and multi-task Workflows with retries and alerting.
- PHASE 10Modules 29–31
DevOps & CI/CD
Treat pipelines as software: Git-backed Repos, branching and promotion, Databricks Asset Bundles, and tested releases via GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
- PHASE 11Modules 32–33
Data Warehousing
Dimensional modelling done properly — facts, dimensions, star vs snowflake — and SCD Types 1, 2 and 3 implemented with Delta MERGE.
- PHASE 12Capstone
End-to-End Industry Project
The retail lakehouse build: metadata-driven ingestion, full and incremental loads, audit logging, SCD 1 and 2, and a business-ready gold layer.
- PHASE 13
Interview & Certification Preparation
400+ scenario questions, Spark tuning drills, system design for data engineers and mock interview sessions — plus a direct path to the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate and Professional exams.

The course was well-structured and easily understandable. Atchyut Kumar Sir's way of teaching is excellent. His explanations, course materials, and real-life examples made even complex topics very clear. The course is suitable for both beginners and experienced ones. Everything I expected from this course has been fulfilled. I strongly recommend this course and the trainer to anyone who wants to learn Azure Data Factory and Data Engineering in a simple and effective way. The course fee is also very reasonable and more affordable compared to other institutions.
I started this course to learn Azure Data Factory from scratch, and it completely changed my perspective on learning ADF. The instructor explains everything from ABC to XYZ in a very clear and smart way. All topics are covered logically and practically, with focus only on important concepts, so you never feel bored. This course is perfect for beginners as well as working professionals who want strong ADF fundamentals. Highly recommended!
I'll say this is the BEST course for an ADF beginner!! The logic of the course is very clear. Through just watching the videos, I feel I've much more familiar with the set up process for pipelines. The project part is a gold material too. Make sure you are not missing that part. Appreciate the tutor a lot!
Just completing this course, and it was absolutely worth the time. The trainer has deep expertise and explains every concept with great clarity. I learned a lot, and I genuinely appreciate the quality of the content. Thank you for such an excellent course! 110%/100
Very good course. It gives us in depth knowledge of data factory and its activities. Also, it explains the all the transformations very clearly. Perfect course to get started with.
For beginners looking to get started with Azure Data Factory, this is a great place to begin. The explanations are detailed and easy to follow. Thank you, Atchyut Kumar, for your excellent guidance!
So far, the explanation has been exceptionally clear and engaging. I am truly impressed by the remarkable depth of detail provided by the instructor.
I really like the effort you put into this... You did a great job sir
