You will learn how to get your data bricks community edition in this post!

Databricks provides a unified, open platform for all your data. It empowers data scientists, data engineers and data analysts with a simple collaborative environment to run interactive and scheduled data analysis workloads. You can get your very own slice of pie for experimentation.

Follow the below steps:

  • Fill in the form present & click on GET Started for Free
  • This would bring you to set-up a cloud account page, you can opt for “Get Started with Community Edition”.
  • There would be certain verifications done.
  • Check your email!
  • Once the email is verified, we can login into our workspace, now this has limited functionality, but its a very place to start with experimentation.
  • We have to create a cluster & attach the same to the notebook for execution.

Creating you first Cluster

  • To create your first cluster, on the left side navigation bar click on compute.
  • On the left corner, look for “Create Cluster” button.
  • Give the Name for your first cluster & leave the other settings as default.
  • Click on “Create Cluster”, please note that in community edition we can only create 1 cluster.

Voila!! we are all set to try Databricks!

As learning is a continuous curve, we must never stop!

See you in the next one!
