Overview of this book

Azure Data Factory (ADF) is a modern data integration tool available on Microsoft Azure. This Azure Data Factory Cookbook helps you get up and running by showing you how to create and execute your first job in ADF. You’ll learn how to branch and chain activities, create custom activities, and schedule pipelines. This book will help you to discover the benefits of cloud data warehousing, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure Data Lake Gen2 Storage, which are frequently used for big data analytics. With practical recipes, you’ll learn how to actively engage with analytical tools from Azure Data Services and leverage your on-premise infrastructure with cloud-native tools to get relevant business insights. As you advance, you’ll be able to integrate the most commonly used Azure Services into ADF and understand how Azure services can be useful in designing ETL pipelines. The book will take you through the common errors that you may encounter while working with ADF and show you how to use the Azure portal to monitor pipelines. You’ll also understand error messages and resolve problems in connectors and data flows with the debugging capabilities of ADF. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to use ADF as the main ETL and orchestration tool for your data warehouse or data platform projects.

Chapter 9: Managing Deployment Processes with Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps provides a wide range of development collaboration, continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery (CD) tools. Azure Repos helps you to collaborate on code development using free public and private Git repositories, pull requests, and code reviews. Azure Pipelines helps you implement a build, test, and development pipeline for any app.

In this chapter, you will learn how to set up the CI and CD of your data analytics solutions in Azure Data Factory (ADF) using Azure DevOps. We will start by setting up an Azure DevOps account, creating an organization and projects within that, and then linking it to your ADF. Then, we'll go deeper into how to publish changes from Git to ADF and deploy new features using Azure Repos. Finally, you will learn how to get ready and set up the CI/CD processes of Data Factory pipelines using Azure Pipelines.
