How does Claude help with DLT pipeline monitoring?

Claude can generate queries for the DLT event log, allowing you to monitor pipeline health, track data quality metrics, and analyze lineage directly from your development environment.

Does this skill support Change Data Capture (CDC)?

Yes, it includes specialized patterns for using the dlt.apply_changes API to handle SCD Type 1 and Type 2 changes, making it easy to track historical data updates.

Can I use this for streaming data ingestion?

Absolutely. This skill covers streaming table patterns using Auto Loader and Structured Streaming to process data incrementally as it arrives in cloud storage.

How does this skill handle data quality?

The skill provides implementation patterns for DLT Expectations, which allow you to define data constraints that can log warnings, drop invalid records, or fail the pipeline entirely upon violation.

What is Delta Live Tables (DLT)?

DLT is a Databricks framework that simplifies ETL development by automatically managing infrastructure, dependencies, and providing a declarative syntax for data transformations.

Data Science & ML

Build and manage declarative, self-healing data pipelines with built-in quality enforcement and automated lineage tracking.

About

The Delta Live Tables skill empowers Claude to assist in the design, implementation, and optimization of DLT pipelines within the Databricks ecosystem. It provides expert guidance on creating multi-hop (Bronze-Silver-Gold) architectures, implementing complex data quality rules through expectations, and handling Change Data Capture (CDC) with SCD Type 2 patterns. By leveraging this skill, developers can automate infrastructure management, simplify incremental data processing, and ensure high-quality data delivery across both streaming and batch workloads.

Key Features
