# Databricks SDK Patterns

## Overview
Production-ready patterns for Databricks SDK usage in Python.

## Prerequisites
- Completed `databricks-install-auth` setup
- Familiarity with async/await patterns
- Understanding of error handling best practices

## Instructions

### Step 1: Implement Singleton Pattern

### Step 2: Add Error Handling Wrapper

### Step 3: Implement Retry Logic with Backoff

### Step 4: Context Manager for Clusters

### Step 5: Type-Safe Job Builders

For full implementation details and code examples, load:
`references/implementation-guide.md`

## Output
- Type-safe client singleton
- Robust error handling with structured logging
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff
- Fluent job builder pattern

## Error Handling
| Pattern | Use Case | Benefit |
|---------|----------|---------|
| Result wrapper | All API calls | Type-safe error handling |
| Retry logic | Transient failures | Improves reliability |
| Context managers | Cluster lifecycle | Resource cleanup |
| Builders | Job creation | Type safety and fluency |

## Next Steps
Apply patterns in `databricks-core-workflow-a` for Delta Lake ETL.

## Examples

**Basic usage**: Apply databricks sdk patterns to a standard project setup with default configuration options.

**Advanced scenario**: Customize databricks sdk patterns for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
