2020 is different in every way, but one thing is constant for the past many years i.e. data and its role in molding our current technology. Recently, I was part of the team to create a central controlled data repository containing clear, consistent, and clean data. While exploring the technologies we landed on MS Azure echo system.

MS Azure echo system for developing data lakes/data warehouse is becoming mature and providing good support when it comes to the enterprise-level solutions. Starting from Azure Data Factory, it gave a good ELT/ETL processing with code-free services. This is very helpful to create pipelines for data ingestion, control flow, and moving data from source to destination. These pipelines have the capability to run 24/7 and ingest petabytes of data. Without the support of a data factory data movement between different enterprise systems requires a lot of effort and at times will be very expensive to develop and maintain. Additionally, there are more than 90 built-in connectors in Azure Data Factory which will help to connect with most of the sources like S3, Redshift, BigQuery, HDFS, Salesforce, and enterprise data warehouse to name a few.
