Databricks platform observability and automation
Monitoring a client’s Databricks platform with Prometheus and Grafana, and automating platform tasks with GitHub Actions, as an isolutions engineer.

The problem
As an isolutions engineer, I currently work as a platform and data engineer on a client’s Databricks platform. A shared data platform needs to be observable and its routine operations repeatable, otherwise the team spends its time on manual checks and firefighting.
My part
- Observability for the platform with Prometheus for metrics and Grafana for dashboards.
- Recurring platform tasks automated as GitHub Actions workflows instead of manual steps.
- Databricks as the core data engineering environment.
