Genie Code adds tremendous value for data engineers - unifying and automating much of the ingest, ETL and streaming process. Hear from Bilal Aslam (Senior Director of Product Management) and our customer SEGA on how to use Genie Code for agentic data engineering, automating much of the process of building intelligent data pipelines. It integrates into the broader Databricks environment, and with Lakeflow and Spark Declarative Pipelines is a fully governed way to prepare and analyze data directly in Databricks.

Join us to explore Lakeflow, Databricks' end-to-end solution for simplifying and unifying the most complex data engineering workflows.
