Short introduction to different options for ETL & ELT in the Cloud with Microsoft Azure. This is a small accompanying set of slides for my presentations and blogs on this topic
Azure Data Factory for Redmond SQL PASS UG Sept 2018Mark Kromer
Azure Data Factory is a fully managed data integration service in the cloud. It provides a graphical user interface for building data pipelines without coding. Pipelines can orchestrate data movement and transformations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Azure Data Factory supports incremental loading, on-demand Spark, and lifting SQL Server Integration Services packages to the cloud.
The document discusses Azure Data Factory and its capabilities for cloud-first data integration and transformation. ADF allows orchestrating data movement and transforming data at scale across hybrid and multi-cloud environments using a visual, code-free interface. It provides serverless scalability without infrastructure to manage along with capabilities for lifting and running SQL Server Integration Services packages in Azure.

Fabric Data Factory Pipeline Copy Perf Tips.pptxMark Kromer
This document provides performance tips for pipelines and copy activities in Azure Data Factory (ADF). It discusses:
- Using pipelines for data orchestration with conditional execution and parallel activities.
- The Copy activity provides massive-scale data movement within pipelines. Using Copy for ELT can land data quickly into a data lake.
- Gaining more throughput by using multiple parallel Copy activities but this can overload the source.
- Optimizing copy performance by using binary format, file lists/folders instead of individual files, and SQL source partitioning.
- Metrics showing copying Parquet files to a lakehouse at 5.1 GB/s while CSV and SQL loads were slower due to transformation.

#10: A data factory can have one or more pipelines. A pipeline is a logical grouping of activities that together perform a task. The activities in a pipeline define actions to perform on your data. For example, you might use a copy activity to copy data from an on-premises SQL Server to Azure Blob storage. Then, you might use a Hive activity that runs a Hive script on an Azure HDInsight cluster to process data from Blob storage to produce output data. Finally, you might use a second copy activity to copy the output data to Azure SQL Data Warehouse, on top of which business intelligence (BI) reporting solutions are built.
A dataset is a named view of data that references the data and the structure of the data you want to use in your activities as inputs and outputs. Datasets identify data within different data stores, such as tables, files, folders, and documents. For example, an Azure Blob dataset specifies the blob container and folder in Blob storage from which the activity should read the data.
Before you create a dataset, you must create a linked service to link your data store to the data factory. Linked services are much like connection strings, which define the connection information needed for Data Factory to connect to external resources. Think of it this way; the dataset represents the structure of the data within the linked data stores, and the linked service defines the connection to the data source. For example, an Azure Storage linked service links a storage account to the data factory. An Azure Blob dataset represents the blob container and the folder within that Azure storage account that contains the input blobs to be processed.
